Is a 568 call a scam?
An area code tells you where a number was first assigned, not where the caller is. Mobile numbers keep their area code when people move, and internet (VoIP) numbers can be picked in any area code — so a 568 number can be calling from anywhere.
Robocallers exploit that with "neighbor spoofing": showing a 568 number to people in Alberta because a local-looking call is more likely to be answered. If a 568 call claims to be your bank, the IRS or the CRA or a delivery company, hang up and call the official number yourself.
About area code 568
568 will enter service on June 10, 2028, as an overlay on 825, which had run short of numbers.
It is part of the 368/403/568/587/780/825 overlay: the codes cover the same area, and a new line there can be given a number in any of them. Two neighbours — or two phones in one household — can have different area codes. That is also why local calls need the full ten digits.
Because 568 overlays the same ground, the cities listed are those of the codes it shares with.
NANPA lists 568 as running short of numbers, with relief planning under way — expect another overlay code here in the next few years.
Existing numbers will not change. What changes is that new numbers in the area may start with 568, so a call from 568 once it opens can be as local as one from 368, 403, 587, 780 and 825.
