Manitoba will be getting a new area code.
Towards the end of October, Manitobans will be able to call numbers with the area code 584 in addition to the existing 204 and 431 codes.
“The introduction of a new area code creates millions of additional telephone numbers without affecting the existing numbers,” said Kelly T. Walsh, Program Manager of the Canadian Numbering Administrator in a statement. “The new area code 584 will be added to the current area codes already in use in Manitoba.”
The 584 area code will be introduced gradually across the province starting on Oct. 29, 2022.
The new area code will not affect the geographic boundaries for local calling areas or the way long-distance calls are dialed.
