Area Code 568 — Coming to Alberta
Area code 568 has been approved as a new overlay for Airdrie and the wider Alberta region served by 368, 403, 587, 780 and 825, but it is not in service yet. It is scheduled to go into service on June 10, 2028. Nobody has a 568 number today — existing 368, 403, 587, 780 and 825 numbers keep their area codes, and carriers will only begin assigning 568 to new phone lines after it launches. The region already uses 10-digit dialing, so there is nothing new to learn about how to dial.

Frequently asked questions
Is area code 568 active yet?
No. Area code 568 has been approved as a new overlay for Airdrie, Alberta, but it is not in service yet — no carrier has assigned a 568 number to anyone. It is scheduled to go into service on June 10, 2028.
When will area code 568 start?
Area code 568 is scheduled to go into service on June 10, 2028. On that date carriers can begin assigning 568 to new phone lines, once the existing 368, 403, 587, 780 and 825 pool is used up.
What region will area code 568 cover?
Area code 568 will be an all-services overlay of 368, 403, 587, 780 and 825, covering the same Alberta region around Airdrie. An overlay adds a new code over the existing area rather than splitting it, so current numbers do not change.
Do I need to change my number or how I dial when 568 launches?
No. Existing 368, 403, 587, 780 and 825 numbers keep their area codes, and only new lines may be issued a 568 number. The region already uses 10-digit dialing, so there is nothing new to learn about how to dial.
Is a call from 568 a scam?
Because area code 568 is not in service yet, no legitimate 568 numbers exist — so a call or text showing 568 today is almost certainly spoofed. The area code itself is not a scam; caller ID can be set to any number, including one that has not launched.
