Area Codes 306 And 639
Area codes 306, 639, and 474 are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the entire Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Area code 306 is the original area code, and area codes 639 and 474 were added to create an overlay plan for the entire province. The incumbent local exchange carrier is SaskTel.

The shortage was exacerbated by Canada's inefficient system of number allocation. All competitive local exchange carriers in Canada are allocated exclusive access to at least one three-digit prefix, each with 10,000 numbers each, for every rate centre in w ...
