Area Codes: CRTC

CRTC: Starting on April 9, 2016, the CRTC said new telephone numbers assigned in Alberta could have the area code 825, according to CTV. Clearly the growth in wireless is a main driver in the assignment of new numbers across the region, Chris Seidl, Executive Director of the CRTC said in a phone interview from Ottawa and Eight years after the CRTC brought in a third area code for Alberta residents, the agency said a fourth area code will be introduced. The decision came after the Canadian Numbering Administrator informed the CRTC that the three existing area codes 403, 587, and 780 are expected to run out of numbers by July 2016.
