Flex your dialing fingers: ten digit telephone numbers are on the horizon for Manitoba.
It’s likely that a second area code 431 will be introduced in Manitoba in the spring of 2013.
That means ten digit local dialing could go into effect as soon as spring 2012 to prepare for the change.
The new numbers would be assigned as the inventory of eligible 204 numbers is used up.
An industry expert says growth in the cell phone market — and new choices for landline service — have led to the demand for more numbers.
