history
The 226 area code was first proposed as a result of an NPA exhaustion study conducted in the 1990s. The return was raised with the CRTC by telecommunications firms and SAIC Canada, and in 1992 a relief plan was approved ( Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-25 ). Although it primarily accepted the industry proposal, the CRTC required a permissive dial period of four months, with coherent network announcements to consumers, alternatively of the proposed two month period. On April 15, 2003, the committee recommended delaying the introduction of the 226 area code from February 19, 2005 to October 21, 2006, primarily as a solution of update forecasts of the 519 NPA exhaustion projections.

Area code 519 covers a wide area ( over 36,000 km² ) with no unmarried municipality controlling a majority of the available numbers. In theory, therefore, the 226 sheathing area code could have been introduced and amply utilized without breaking seven-digit dial in any of the NPA 519 communities. This would however have required substitution numbers to be issued in a specific design where ( for exemplify ) if 519-999-9999 were a Windsor number, the same number in the newly area code, 226-999-9999, be issued in London, Guelph or some early community which is not and will not become a local anesthetic call to any item in the Windsor area .
