© Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press Increasing demand for phone numbers means Manitoba will get a third area code. A third area code, 584, will be introduced in Manitoba by the end of the month, the Telecommunications Alliance says. The introduction of the new area code is due to an increasing demand for phone numbers in the region. All local calls will still require 10 digits (area code plus local number). Businesses using communications systems that restrict long distance calls will need to add 584 as a local area code, the Telecommunications Alliance said.
