CRTC Approves New 431 Area Code for Manitoba
The CRTC has officially approved the introduction of the new 431 area code for the province of Manitoba. The 431 area code will come into effect on November 2, 2012. The new area code is being introduced because, according to the Canadian numbering administration forecasts, all the usable NXX codes for the 204 area code are expected to be assigned by May 2013. As a consequence, 10-digit local dialing will be introduced for customers in Manitoba.
The phase-in of 10-digit dialing will begin on July 29, 2012, with permissive dialing, where customers that dial seven digits will receive a recorded message advising of the pending introduction of 10-digit dialing before the call is completed. This phase will continue until October 20, 2012, after which and up until February 2013, a customer dialing seven instead of 10 digits will receive a recorded message. Customers will then be required to hang-up and redial. Commencing March 2013, four months after the actual introduction of the 431 area code, seven-digit dialed calls will no longer be completed.
