Coverage

Where does the 587 area code apply?

The 587 area code covers the entire province of Alberta — both Calgary and area (403) and Edmonton and area (780). It was Alberta's first distributed overlay, approved by the CRTC in 2007 and put into service on September 12, 2008, once the two legacy codes neared exhaustion.

587 numbers are assigned across the whole province rather than tied to one city. Since then, overlay codes 825 (2016) and 368 (2022) have joined 587 on the same province-wide territory. A 587 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your Alberta customers, wherever your team works from.

Same territory

587, 403, 780, 825 or 368: which one will you get?

587 was Alberta's first overlay, introduced in 2008 once 403 and 780 approached exhaustion. It shares its whole-province footprint with 403, 780, 825 and 368. In practice, which code lands on a new line mainly depends on which numbers are available when it's activated.

Why 587

Why choose a 587 number for your business?

587 was Alberta's first province-wide area code, built from the start to serve Calgary, Edmonton and every community between them under one numbering plan. It gives a business a contact point associated with Alberta as a whole, even when its team works remotely.

And because every call runs through Bloom AI, your local number becomes a sales lever: every conversation is analyzed, summarized and turned into a next step.

587 area code — frequently asked questions

How do I get a 587 number for my business?

Book a demo of Bloom AI cloud telephony. Our team then confirms which 587 numbers are available and helps configure your line.

Can I keep my current 587 number?

A porting request can be prepared for an eligible number. The transfer depends on validation of the number and required documents; the schedule is confirmed before migration.

What is the difference between the 587, 403, 780, 825 and 368 area codes?

All five cover Alberta, but they were not introduced the same way. 403 (1947) and 780 (1999) are geographic codes tied to the south and the north of the province respectively. 587 (2008), 825 (2016) and 368 (2022) are distributed overlays assigned across the whole province, regardless of city. Number availability may vary.

Do I need to be located in a specific Alberta city to use a 587 number?

No. The number lives in the cloud: your team answers the 587 from anywhere in Alberta or beyond, right in the app.

Can I send text messages from a 587 number?

Yes. You call and text your customers from the same local number, and the full history stays centralized in Bloom AI.

How much does a local 587 number cost?

Pricing depends on the selected plan and configuration. See Bloom AI pricing or book a demo for details in Canadian dollars.

How fast is my 587 number activated?

Timing depends on number availability, account validation and any porting request. The Bloom AI team confirms the activation schedule during setup.

Do I need to dial ten digits for a 587 number?

Yes. Across Alberta's overlay area — 403, 587, 780, 825 and 368 — local calls use ten digits: the area code followed by the seven-digit number.
