Toronto is set to get a new area code this weekend, as the region is expected to run out of new phone numbers by next year.
The Telecommunications Alliance says 942 will be added for the region that currently uses area codes 416, 437 and 647.
The new area code comes after a 2023 decision by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission that noted Toronto could exhaust all of its numbers under existing area codes by April 2026.
