New 873 area code coming to Québec on September 15, 2012


Quick update for those located in Québec – starting on September 15th, 2012 you will welcome a new area code to the 819 region. The CRTC has stated to “continuously growing demand for new telephone numbers”, area code 873 will be introduced. The 819/873 area code will cover western, northern and central Québec.

Glenn Pilley, Director of the Canadian Numbering Administration, said “The introduction of a new area code in a region enables millions of additional telephone numbers to be provided without affecting the existing numbers. It is part of today’s reality throughout North America. This measure demonstrates the flexibility and growth potential of the Canadian telecommunications network.”
