Parallel running ends in just three months’ time

•    Have you told all your clients and suppliers about the new dialling code?
•    Update your website with new dialling codes
•    Remember to change numbers when ordering new stationery
Just to remind members, the main changes in the new plan are:
•    the introduction of fixed numbers which are 8 digits long; the same length as mobile numbers.
•    all 5-digit numbers will be extended by adding 200 (two zero zero) in front of the five digit number. So to call the Chamber you used to dial 78376. From now on you need to dial 200 78376.
The changes are being phased in over a period of 14 months but that period is coming to an end shortly.  The changeover will be completed to coincide with the publication of the 2008/2009 Telephone Directory in September 2008.
If you have not yet got into the habit of dialling eight digit numbers, it’s not too late, but in October all dialled numbers will need to be eight digits.
Mobile numbers will remain unchanged.
