How to dial

Calling Alberta

+1+area code+subscriber number

Dial the complete ten-digit Canadian number in the featured overlay regions. Use +1 once in international format; a domestic long-distance 1, where required, is an access prefix rather than an additional part of the number.

Entity boundary

Region vs. Telephone Area

Area codes identify numbering-plan areas, not a phone’s exact or current location. Wireless service, VoIP and number portability can separate a number from the subscriber’s physical location. Most populated Canadian regions now have several overlay codes with identical coverage, so ten-digit local dialling is required.

A code listed beside a city reflects a featured numbering association; it does not assert that every community in Alberta uses that code or that the code stops at the administrative border.
