Manila PHONE NUMBERS have changed

Phil. National Telecom Comm. (NTC) has issued an advisory on the implementation of a new telephone numbering scheme for all landlines in Metro Manila, San Pedro, Laguna and the province of Rizal.

Beginning June 2, 2001, all landlines in these areas will have the number "8" as a common prefix. The original telephone numbers will be retained after the prefix.

Example: number 920-5416 will become 8920-5416. Country code (63) and area code (2) remain the same.

After the implementation of the new numbering scheme on June 2, 2001, the use of the 7-digit telephone number will be allowed for 60 days. For the first 30 days of the 60-day period, calls made using the 7-digit numbers will still be completed. For the succeeding 30 days, all incorrectly dialed calls will be routed to a recorded announcement. Starting on August 2, 2001 all calls incorrectly dialed will be dropped.
