For October 1992, new prefixes were found for 394 Coderre (new place), 489 Alameda (new place), 636 Estevan, 936 Regina. And for December 1991, that means really updated. A number of serious gaps were found - 150 or so prefixes worth of gaps. How these escaped the general checking is unknown at this point, but it looks like just about everything should be in this time. Regrets are given for missing this information in previous editions. Lloydminster is a border town of sorts: it is on the Alberta/Saskatchewan provincial boundary. To call from the Saskatchewan side to the Alberta side of town, it appears to be necessary to dial 403 then the number. Why the 403+number scheme was chosen is a mystery; many areas can get by with just a number when calling across an area code boundary (Ottawa-Hull is a good example with its 613-819 cross-boundary dialing). Some new prefixes are active as a result of manual or radio exchanges getting connected to the dial network. Exchanges such as Besnard Lake, Cluff Lake, Kane Lake, Key Lake, McKenzie Falls, Molanosa and Narrow Lake are still listed in phone books as manual or otherwise non-dialable exchanges; however it seems their prefixes have been formally assigned. Changes for 16 April 1990 edition include 546 exchange for Regina as well as active page call exchange in Regina (797) and a Lloydminster (825) exchange active from area 306 (this borders with Lloydminster, Alberta) and a slight change to indicate that the provincial toll-free exchange 828 is active (though it carries a charge if dialed from outside area code 306).
