Toronto will get a new area code next year, the CRTC is reminding residents
The new number was announced on May 10, 2023, but the CRTC provided new details about the “gradual” rollout in a news release issued on Wednesday.The introduction of an additional area code follows a decision by the CRTC’s so-called relief planning committee, which determined that the existing varieties of phone numbers in the city were going to be exhausted by April 2026.
“The introduction of a new area code creates millions of additional telephone numbers without affecting the existing numbers,” Kelly T. Walsh, program manager of the Canadian Numbering Administrator, said in a news release. “The new 942 area code will be added to the current area codes already in use in this region and will cover the same geographic area.”
The CRTC said the new area code will not affect the geographical boundaries for local calling areas or the way local or long-distance calls are dialed.'Absolutely outrageous': Hundreds of dump trucks could drive through Liberty Village due to Ontario Line construction ‘I didn’t do this to just run’: Canadian hip hop artist runs 100 marathons in 100 days for men’s mental health
