Area code 587 is a Canadian overlay serving Alberta, including cities like Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and Lethbridge. Introduced in 2008 due to the exhaustion of existing area codes 403 and 780, 587 spans the entire province. Calgary and Edmonton dominate Alberta’s economy, with industries ranging from oil and gas to finance, education, and healthcare. Calgary is a major corporate hub with strong ties to energy companies and emerging tech startups, while Edmonton is the provincial capital and a center for government, education, and the arts. Red Deer and Lethbridge contribute to agriculture, logistics, and manufacturing. Alberta’s robust economy and population growth have made 587 an important area code for modern expansion. A 587 number presents a province-wide identity and is ideal for businesses with a regional footprint, remote workers, or anyone targeting Alberta’s booming cities and towns.
