Telecomms
Ken
As from 1st Dec this year, ALL Gib telephone numbers as at present exist
will be prefixed by "200" so that 78376 (Chamber of Commerce, if you're
wondering) will become 20078376. This will make ALL Gib numbers - fixed and
mobile alike - 8 digits long.
For a period of 8 months numbers will be diallable (is that a word?) by
using the old 5 or the new 8 digit number, after which time only the 8 digit
number will produce results.

So Giblets, living in an area the size of a small village and with a
population not much more than a village will have to dial 8 digits to call
their neighbour!
Anyway it opens up Gib's telecoms, perhaps a businessman (or woman) should
invest in the global SIM idea I mooted earlier?

No, its a city with a higher standard of living and average
earnings than where you live.

Nobody is that stupid.

liar, please confirm you know where I live by posting the name of the town I
live in.
After all you can only be 100% sure that your above statement is correct
unless you have that knowledge.
Liar.
Put up or shut up.

While I agree your idea is a good one, I suspect if it hasn't been done yet
it's because no-one else with the contacts to do so thinks so or it would
have been done already.
With 8 digits Gib will now have a potential maximum one hundred million
numbers to play with. No doubt some of the series will be reserved for
special purposes, but at over 3000 numbers per man, woman and child I don't
expect to see a further reorganisation of Gib numbers for some time now
(this will be the fourth structure I will have known in my 48 yrs).
