From October 1, Add New Digits For Telephone Numbers of Macau
Written on September 25, 2006 by admin
With the accelerating social and economical developments of the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) in recent years, the demand for telecommunications services has been sustainably increasing at a rapid pace. To cope with the future development of the telecommunications services, the Government of MSAR elaborated the Digit Adding Plan of Telephone Numbers, after undergoing a thorough study and consulting the respective sector.
As reported by the Macau Government Tourist Office, starting from October 1, 2006 , the following arrangement will be implemented:
- The initial digits “28″ are added to all 6-digit commercial and residential telephone numbers as well as fax numbers.
- The initial digit “6″ is added to the mobile telephone numbers.
- The period of adaptation, during which the dialing of both telephone numbers (numbers before and after the digits added) is allowed, carries out until the end of February 2007.
- Starting from March 1, 2007 , the parallel dialing mode will be terminated.
- Starting from March 1, 2007 , all newly apply DDI numbers will be upgraded to 8-digit and from January 1, 2008 , all current DDI numbers will have the prefix “8″ added.
- Telephone numbers for customer services with initial digit “1” and emergency telephone numbers with initial digit “9” (such as 999) remain unchanged.
