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
