Telephone

The emergency number for all health, safety and crime emergencies is 911.

Dial 411 for an operator to aid with locating a number. Dialing 0 will also get you an operator for general assistance.

Pay phones cost 25 cents (a quarter, or a combination of dimes and nickels) per call. Phones do not give change, but will return coin(s) if call is not completed. Phone credit cards for multiple calls are also available in many convenience stores.

Kingston is in the 613 area code, which need not be dialed before dialing the seven-digit phone number. Some calls to Hull are in the 819 area code and are local calls, but require dialing 819 and then the seven-digit number. When dialing long-distance numbers, start with a 1, then area code followed by seven-digit number.
