  Singapore's New 8-digit Phone Numbering Format

      (cont'd)

     Back to FrontPage of article

Statistics For Telecom Services

Overseas calls to Singapore
1 March 2002 - 28 February 2003 Parallel run of 7 and 8-digit numbers, i.e. callers who dial the 7-digit numbers will still be connected to Singapore.
After 28 February 2003 Overseas callers who dial the 7-digit numbers will hear a change number announcement, after which the calls will be disconnected. They will then have to re-dial with the additional '6'.

Notes:

1 An 8-digit number will appear as 6-ABC-DEFG, where ABC-DEFG represents the existing
7-digit number.

2 The addition of an extra digit '6' will increase the numbering capacity by ten-fold to 60 million, which will provide
the much needed capacity and flexibility to cater for future growth of the industry.

3 The 8-digit format for mobile and pager numbers took effect in September 1995, with the addition of the leading digit '9'.

4 Numbers with prefix '0' - IDD access codes, emergency call numbers
Numbers with prefix '1' - short access codes e.g. 1711
