Area code 600: canadian non-geographic, not a location
Area code 600 is a Canadian non-geographic code, not a place: NANPA lists it for Canadian Non-Geographic Tariffed Services, in service since October 1, 1993. Numbers in it are assigned across Canada through the Canadian Numbering Administrator.
Free, runs in your browser; nothing is sent. The sample is a sample, not a real line.
Paste your 600 numbers (a mixed list is fine). They are counted here at once; the free checker then gives every number its E.164 form, country and line type, with a file to download.

What a 600 number is for
Because 600 is not tied to a province, its numbers have no single time zone, and an area code lookup can't place them. Google's libphonenumber data reads them as "VoIP".
In a contact list, a 600 number usually belongs to a business service rather than a person's phone. Tag it with a bulk validator and decide per campaign.

The bulk phone number validator tags every row with its type (toll-free, premium, mobile or landline) and writes it in E.164, free.

The numbering plan says what a range is for, not who answers.
