How Edmonton came to have 4 area codes
The original Edmonton area code is 780, in service since 1999. As the area ran low on available numbers, overlay codes were added over the same region for new phone lines: 587 (2008), 825 (2016) and 368 (2022). Existing numbers kept their original code — an overlay never forces anyone to change their number — which is why Edmonton now uses all 4 codes and every local call is dialed with ten digits.
