Area Code 431 was introduced in 2012 as an overlay to Manitoba’s long-standing 204, expanding the province’s telecom capacity without disrupting its legacy. While 204 is deeply rooted, 431 is a symbol of growth and modernization. It supports Winnipeg’s urban expansion, emerging industries, and the shift to digital-first lifestyles across rural Manitoba. A call from 431 could come from a new tech firm or a fresh voice in politics, offering a glimpse of the province’s next generation. In the shadow of tradition, 431 is carving its own space. It’s not just a number, it’s Manitoba moving forward.
