Stuck on using .reduce()

QUESTION: phoneNumbers is array of 10 digit phone numbers, where the first three digits, in parentheses, are area codes. Using reduce, return the total phone numbers with a 503 area code. Store the total in the variable numberOf503.

Can't seem to figure this out using .reduce(); Please help!

app.js 
const phoneNumbers = ["(503) 123-4567", "(646) 123-4567", "(503) 987-6543", "(503) 234-5678", "(212) 123-4567", "(416) 123-4567"];
let numberOf503;

// numberOf503 should be: 3
// Write your code below
numberOf503 = phoneNumbers.reduce(function (allNums, num) { 
  if (num.substring(0,5) === '(503)') {

  }
}, 0);

You've got a good start there. Now you just need to increment the total when the "if" is true, and return the total in all cases.
