Program Manager of the Canadian Numbering Administrator, Kelly T. Walsh said in a statement, “The introduction of a new area code creates millions of additional telephone numbers without affecting the existing numbers.”
613 was the first area code in Ottawa area and was introduced in 1947. In response to the increasing demand for telephone numbers due to the popularity of wireless services, area code 343 was added in 2010.
Telecommunications Alliance says the introduction of a new area code will not affect the geographic boundaries for local calling areas, the way long-distance calls and special numbers such as 211, 311, 411, 611 and 911 are dialled.
