Use the E.164 format for clickable phone links (RFC 3966):
<a href="tel:+13685550100">+13685550100</a><a href="tel:+13685550199">+13685550199</a>368 was activated on Apr 23, 2022 as an overlay covering Alberta (province-wide). It shares the same geography as 403, 587, 780, and 825, which means ten-digit dialing is required for local calls in this region — dial the area code even when calling a neighbor.
A new 368 number does not indicate a different city than 403, 587, 780, or 825. Overlays are added when the existing code runs out of available prefixes.
See every North American overlayArea code 368 is a North American Numbering Plan (NANP) telephone area code assigned to Alberta, Canada. It is one of 5 area codes serving Alberta.

Area code 368 covers 25 cities and communities in Alberta, including Banff, Beaverlodge, Bragg Creek, Brooks, Calgary, and 20 more localities. This is based on telephone company rate center data — the geographic areas carriers use to determine local calling boundaries and to assign numbers when a business or individual requests a phone number in a specific city.
All numbers in the 368 area code observe Mountain Time (IANA timezone: America/Denver). Mountain Time is UTC−7 in winter (MST) and UTC−6 in summer (MDT). When placing a call to a 368 number from a different time zone, check the current local time above to avoid calling outside of business hours.
From within Alberta, dial the 7-digit local number directly if calling within the same rate center, or dial 1 + 368 + 7-digit number for long-distance calls within North America. From outside the US or Canada, dial your country's international exit code followed by 1 368 XXX XXXX. The country code for both the United States and Canada in NANP is +1.
Format 368 numbers using E.164 notation as required by RFC 3966: prefix with +1 and omit dashes and parentheses (e.g., +13685550100). This format ensures tel: links work correctly on all mobile browsers and VoIP apps. See the tel: URI formatting guide for complete examples.
