Default A question about dialling method in Canada?

Hi,all guys.

I want to purchase a DID number in Toronto,ON,Canada, and register its account at Voxalot as my Voip-in number for receiving PSTN call from Canada.

I am live in Asia, and not familiar with the dialling method in Canada.I want to know how Canadian caller dial my Voip-in number in Toronto, also want to know which call is a local call for the caller,which call is a long distance call for the caller. I have learned a bit knowlege about dialling method and local calling areas in Canada, but i am still confused. Canadian telcom rule is very different from my motherland. In my motherland, one city has only one area code, call between different area codes must be domestic long distance call.In Canada,many cities have 2 or 3 area codes,and many cities share one area code(divided by exchange)

Assuming my Voip-in number in Toronto is 647-333-XXXX, a caller who use a Toronto phone number 416-333-XXXX to call my Voip-in number. Should he dial 647-333-XXXX? Or should he dial 1-647-333-XXXX? Of course, i know this is a local call. Toronto has 3 area codes:416 647 905 .

If a caller who use a Newmarket phone number 905-710-XXXX (Newmarket also has area code 905) to call my Voip-in number. Should he dial 647-333-XXXX? Or should he dial 1-647-333-XXXX?, i know this is also a local call from BellCanada Website.

If a caller who use Newmarket phone number 905-710-XXXX to call another Toronto number 905-210-XXXX, Should he dial 905-210-XXXX? Or should he dial 1-905-210-XXXX?i know this is also a local call from BellCanada Website.

I have many ?. It is too complex for me.

Any guy in Canada can explain it?

Thanks in advance.
