New 200 Numbering Plan for Gibraltar

Last Friday saw the first change in the introduction of a new Numbering Plan for Gibraltar with the extension of all 5-digit telephone numbers.

All current 5-digit numbers are extended by adding 200 (two zero zero) in front of the number, which will make the new customer number easy to remember.

As from this day, customers are able to dial both the existing 5-digit numbers and the new 8-digit numbers, i.e. which include the addition of 200 in front. The changeover will be completed to coincide with the publication of the 2008/2009 Telephone Directory in September next year.

During the period when both the old and new customer numbers may be dialled, known as parallel running, existing 5-digit numbers may be dialled with or without adding 200 in front (e.g. 71170 or 200 71170). After the changeover period, all existing fixed customer numbers can only be dialled in 8-digit form.

Mobile numbers will not change.
