Information on 2009 National Number Change
In order to meet demand for telephone services in certain areas, the Commission for Communications Regulation ComReg has announced changes to telephone numbers in some STD code areas.
These changes will commence in May 2009 and complete in June 2009. From May 2009, the old numbers will cease to operate and only the new numbers should be used.
Callers dialing the old number after the changeover date will hear a recorded announcement advising that the number has changed and asking the customer to dial again. No charges will be applied to the calls answered by the recorded announcement.
