Calling ServiceOntario from outside Canada
ServiceOntario lists 416-326-1234 and toll-free 1-800-267-8097, Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, excluding holidays. It doesn't list a separate overseas number. The 416 number is a regular Toronto line rather than a toll-free one. ServiceOntario also warns that it never contacts customers asking for their Social Insurance Number.
Common reasons people call from abroad:
- Renewing a driver's licence while outside Ontario
- Health card (OHIP) questions while away
- Birth, marriage or death certificates
- Changing your address

Why +1 800-267-8097 fails from a foreign phone
On a toll-free number, ServiceOntario pays for the call instead of you. Carriers generally only route these calls from networks inside the area the number covers, here Canada. A call from a foreign SIM, or from a home SIM roaming on a foreign network, has nobody to bill it to, so the network rejects it. You usually hear "your call cannot be completed as dialled", a fast busy tone or silence.
That's why ServiceOntario lists +1 416-326-1234 for callers outside Canada. Dial that one with VoixCall.

How Much Does It Cost?
VoixCall charges by where you're calling, not where you are. Calls to numbers in Canada cost 2.7¢/min. At the landline rate, a 30-minute call to ServiceOntario, hold time included, comes to about $0.81.
Your first call is free. After that you pay from prepaid credit, with no subscription. Recording adds $0.003/min. Rates as of 2026-10-06; see current rates for Canada.
Record the call and keep the reference number
A call to ServiceOntario usually ends with a case or reference number and a promise about what happens next. After a long hold, in a second language, it's easy to miss a digit.
Switch on Record on the VoixCall dialer before you call ($0.003/min). If you've also turned on "Record and transcribe my calls" in Settings (web or the iPhone/Android app), about a minute after you hang up Call History shows a short summary, the reference numbers that were said (each with a Copy button), what each side agreed to do next, and the full transcript, for $0.02/min.
Recording is off by default. ServiceOntario hears a short recording notice when the call connects, and only you can see your recordings and transcripts. Speech-to-text can mis-hear fast numbers, so check important digits against the recording. Recording laws differ by country. How call transcripts work →
