A new area code is coming to the Quinte area and the rest of Eastern Ontario next May..
The C-R-T-C says the new area code within the 6-1-3 boundaries will meet the continuously growing demand for new telephone numbers.
The Director of the Canadian Numbering Administration, Glen Pilley, says millions of additional telephone numbers will be provided without affecting existing numbers.
The new 3-4-3 code responds to the high demand for new numbers resulting from the growing popularity of wireless services, the Internet and I-P telephony.
