Mobile Numbers Starting With ‘8′, Soon

Recommended Posts

series:source

obile users across the country would soon see new mobile numbers, maybe as early as end of August 2009. While earlier reports indicated that all mobile users would be converted to a 11-digit numbering scheme (11 DIGIT MOBILE NUMBERS FROM 2010) latest updates indicate that 10-digit numbers would continue for more years to come.

While the DOT has almost exhausted its supply of available number series -

all levels from 90 / 91 / 95 / 96 / 97 / 98 / 99 have been allotted to various operators (and levels 92 / 93 / 94 reserved for Tata Indicom / Reliance Mobile / BSNL respectively) the new level “8″ would ensure that there are plentty of new numbering options available, with the existing 10-digit numbering framework. In short, the number “8″ would be introduced which would exist along with today’s mobile numbers starting with “9″.

To share an example: the old numbers 9xxxx-xxxxx would exist as well as new numbers 8xxxx-xxxxx. What does it entail? Well for starters those in search of VIP numbers can look forward to lots of new possibilities … Good news for telecom companies too as they can look forward to additional revenues in the form of “Premium Number” charges for VIP numbers!

I don't think so... What about land-line numbers from cities with STD codes starting with '8', for example, STD code of Bangalore is '080'... And a land-line in Bangalore will be as '080-2xxx xxxx' and there are many cities with STD codes starting with '8'... And anyone outside Karnataka should call with '0'+Mobile Number <as it is an STD number>..

Whether DoT is going to change STD code of Bangalore and other towns... VERY UN-LIKELY...

Please clarify, if you have got more details regarding this...

So numbers starting with 9 is always a mobile number and numbers starting with '8' can be either a mobile number or a landline number...

Landline numbers in Bangalore will get more wrong calls than any other state landline phone..

Long long ago, we can see the mobile number and we can understand in which network, the subscriber is in... But nowadays, it will be difficult to even know, if it is a landline number or mobile number???

8004 - BSNL(GSM) - Uttar Pradesh (East)

80050 to 80054 - BSNL(GSM) - Uttar Pradesh (East)

I cant understand this... Why 800xx series is alloted to BSNL GSM???? Whether BSNL has exhausted the 94xxxx series already???
