Telephone Service

India
Communication of 13.IV.1994:
	Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd. announces that the area code for Faridabad city (near New Delhi) will be changed from 118 to 129 on 15 April 1994 at 1830 hours UTC.
	For example, to dial Faridabad subscriber’s number 281500:
	a)	existing procedure	+91 118 281500
	b)	new procedure	+91 129 281500.

Niger
Communication of 11.IV.1994:
	The Office des postes et télécommunications of Niger announces that as from 15 October 1993 new numbers beginning with 75 as the first two digits have been introduced in the Niamey telephone network. Subscribers with these numbers can be reached in the same way as those with numbers beginning with 72, 73 and 74.
	Numbers beginning with 20 are allocated to the administrative exchange at Niamey and can only be reached manually.

Netherlands
Communication of 11.IV.1994:
	PTT Telecom Netherlands announces that on 4 June 1994 at 0000 hour, local time (3 June 1994 at 2200 hours UTC), the area codes 5490 (localities Aadorp, Almelo, Harbrinkhoek, Mariaparochie), 5496 (localities Rectum, Wierden, Ypelo) and 5499 (localities De Pollen, Vriezenveen) will be changed to area code 546 and subscriber numbers will be extended to six digits as follows:

Existing area codes + subscriber numbers	Effective 4 June 1994, new area code + new subscriber numbers	
5490 1XXXX	546 81XXXX	
5490 2XXXX	546 82XXXX	
5490 3XXXX	546 83XXXX	
5490 4XXXX	546 54XXXX	
5490 5XXXX	546 85XXXX	
5490 6XXXX	546 86XXXX	
5490 7XXXX	546 87XXXX	
5496 XXXXX	546 5XXXXX	
5499 6XXXX	546 56XXXX	
5499 7XXXX	546 55XXXX	

From 4 June 1994 only the new numbers can be accessed. Calls to old numbers will be connected to a recorded announcement in Dutch, English, French and German.
	The introduction of the three-digit area code is the first step in a major renumbering operation which will result in new numbers for most subscribers on 10 October 1995. On that date, about 75% of all telephone numbers in the Netherlands will be changed. With the exception of telephone numbers with access code 6 (special service numbers, pager numbers and mobile phone numbers), the Netherlands national (significant) number will consist of nine digits in the following combinations:
	–	a two-digit area code and seven digit subscriber number, or
	–	a three-digit area code and six digit subscriber number.
	Area codes will either remain the same or change to a greater or lesser extent. New subscriber numbers will be formed by placing one or more digits before the existing subscriber number. 
Examples:	+31 30 448442 will become +31 30 2448442
		+31 4123 3636 will become +31 412 403636
		+31 1738 4000 will become +31 15 3804000
	The following numbers will not be changed on 10 October 1995:
	–	telephone numbers in the networks of Amsterdam (area code 20), Almere (area code 36), Rotterdam (area code 10) and The Hague (area code 70);
	–	area code 546 and the new subscriber numbers in Almelo, Vriezenveen and Wierden, which will be introduced on 4 June 1994;
	–	subscriber numbers (4, 6, 7 or 8 digits) with access code 6 (special service numbers, pager numbers and mobile phone numbers).
	A brochure in English entitled "Guide to New Telephone Numbers" containing a conversion table for looking up new numbers will be available early 1995. The brochure will provide information for operational use and can be distributed by Administrations/ROAs to their external customers. The conversion table will also be available on diskette.
	It would be grateful if all departments concerned, e.g. switching, international operator service and directory enquiries, would be informed of the described changes in the Netherlands telephone numbering plan.

	Administrations/ROAs are invited to state how many copies of the brochure they require, whether they wish to receive the conversion table on diskette, and their postal address.
