Area code 568 – Alberta, not yet in service
568 is a Alberta area code that has been assigned but is not in use yet: it is scheduled to go into service on 10 June 2028. NANPA records it as an overlay on 825, so it will supply new numbers across the same area rather than replacing any existing ones. Once live, local calls across the 368/403/568/587/780/825 codes will need all ten digits.
