Newfoundland and Labrador will finally be rolling out the 879 numbering plan area (NPA) on Feb. 17, 2024, the CRTC announced Friday. The new area code had initially been approved back in 2017 but the commission discovered number exhaustion would not take place until 2028, beyond the scope of the implementation schedule.
