From within Saskatchewan, dial the 7-digit local number directly if calling within the same rate center, or dial 1 + 474 + 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 1 474 XXX XXXX. The country code for both the United States and Canada in NANP is +1.
Format 474 numbers using E.164 notation as required by RFC 3966: prefix with +1 and omit dashes and parentheses (e.g., +14745550100). This format ensures tel: links work correctly on all mobile browsers and VoIP apps. See the tel: URI formatting guide for complete examples.
