A fifth area code is being introduced in Alberta.

The CRTC has approved the usage of the 368 area code amid the ever-present demand for new phone numbers.

It'll be used alongside the existing 403, 587, 780, and 825 codes.

The new code will be introduced on April 23, 2022, and will only be assigned once there are no numbers available from the other codes.

No existing phone numbers will be affected.

This comes only five years after the 825 code was introduced.
