BC's new area code takes effect tomorrow.
2-3-6 will be province-wide, but will be given out gradually.
It will only be available to residents or businesses acquiring new phone numbers in areas where there is no longer a sufficient supply of numbers within the existing area codes.
There will be no changes to existing phone numbers, but customers may be offered a 236 number when they contact a provider for a new service.
It joins 6-0-4, 2-5-0, and 7-7-8.
