A new area code is being introduced in the Toronto-area this weekend
As demand for new phone numbers grows, residents in the Greater Toronto Area are getting a new area code.
Телекомуникационният алианс споделя, че от 26 април, ще бъде въведен спомагателен код на региона в района, който сега се обслужва от кодове на повърхност 416, 437 и 647 в Онтарио. Area.
The alliance says the new 942 area code is in response to the increasing demand for phone numbers.
They say this move will ensure residents and businesses continue to have enough numbers to meet demand well into the future. The area code will be introduced gradually starting on Saturday, with people requesting a new number after this date possibly receiving one with area code 942.
Numbers with the existing area codes may still be assigned to customers until the supply is exhausted, the alliance says.
While new numbers may come with a different area code, the alliance say the change will not affect pre-existing numbers and that local calling will remain the same.
However, the alliance warns that businesses using communications systems that restrict long-distance calling will need to add 942 as a local area code.
Special numbers such as 211, 311, 411, 611, 911 and 988 will still be dialed using only three числа.
Последният път, когато в Торонто беше въведен нов код на региона, беше през 2013 година с 437 районния код.
