Use the E.164 format for clickable phone links (RFC 3966):
<a href="tel:+13825550100">+13825550100</a><a href="tel:+13825550199">+13825550199</a>382 was activated on Jun 17, 2023 as an overlay covering Ontario (southwestern). It shares the same geography as 226, 519, and 548, which means ten-digit dialing is required for local calls in this region — dial the area code even when calling a neighbor.
A new 382 number does not indicate a different city than 226, 519, or 548. Overlays are added when the existing code runs out of available prefixes.

Area code 382 covers 41 cities and communities in Ontario, including Belmont, Brantford, Caledon, Centralia, Chatham, and 36 more localities. This is based on telephone company rate center data — the geographic areas carriers use to determine local calling boundaries and to assign numbers when a business or individual requests a phone number in a specific city.
All numbers in the 382 area code observe Eastern Time (IANA timezone: America/New_York). Eastern Time is UTC−5 in winter (EST) and UTC−4 in summer (EDT). When placing a call to a 382 number from a different time zone, check the current local time above to avoid calling outside of business hours.
From within Ontario, dial the 7-digit local number directly if calling within the same rate center, or dial 1 + 382 + 7-digit number for long-distance calls within North America. From outside the US or Canada, dial your country's international exit code followed by 1 382 XXX XXXX. The country code for both the United States and Canada in NANP is +1.
Format 382 numbers using E.164 notation as required by RFC 3966: prefix with +1 and omit dashes and parentheses (e.g., +13825550100). This format ensures tel: links work correctly on all mobile browsers and VoIP apps. See the tel: URI formatting guide for complete examples.
