LETHRIDGE, AB – Starting on Saturday, April 23, 2022, you may see a new Alberta area code showing up on your caller ID.

A new 368 area code is being introduced, the fifth area code for the province. The 368 area code joins 403, 587, 780 and 825.

Telus says it’s needed to meet increasing demand for Alberta phone numbers.

“The new area code will be introduced gradually starting on April 23,” said Kelly T. Walsh, program manager of the Canadian Numbering Administrator, in a release.

“After this date, consumers and businesses requesting a new phone number may receive one with the new area code.”
