Find any 587- phone number in Alberta

The 587 area code in Alberta is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). It is a telephone area code that is used to help route incoming and outgoing calls to the correct geographic locations. The NANP system divides the province of Alberta into nine major geographic regions, which each have their own area code. The 587 area code is used for the Calgary and Lethbridge regions in southern Alberta. It was created in 2006 when Alberta split the 403 area code in order to accommodate the province's growth.

The NANP is used in Canada, the United States and seventeen Caribbean nations, and includes ten digit long telephone numbers. Every telephone number in the system has a unique, three digit area code that helps determine where the call originates and where it is headed. Alberta’s 587 area code is a part of this system and is designed to make sure that all phone calls are routed to the correct locations within the province. The area code also serves as a method to identify Alberta's two major regions of Calgary and Lethbridge, and is used to designate local numbers within the two regions.
