Change of telephone number announcement to end soon

A spokesman from the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) reminds the public that all residential, business telephone and facsimile numbers in Hong Kong have already been changed from 7-digit to 8-digit by adding a prefix '2' in front of the previous numbers.

"Telephone users are now receiving a recorded announcement advising them to dial the 8-digit number. However, this announcement will end on June 30, 1995. From July 1, 1995 onwards, telephone users dialling the old 7-digit number will not be connected," said the spokesman.

"Telephone numbers for paging services will be changed on October 1, 1995. Paging service operators will inform their customers of the details in the near future."

Any enquiries on the above numbering change can be directed to OFTA on 2961 6650.
