Saudi Arabia to roll out new phone area codes
- Saudi Arabia: Sunday, May 12 - 2013 at 07:32
Saudi Arabia's Communication and Information Technology Commission (CITC) has announced final plans to change the current nine-digit landline telephone number to 10-digit system by adding the digit 1 to the six geographical zone codes, Arab News has reported. The change would be carried out in phases, with the Riyadh geographic area to be the first stage of the conversion starting from May 13. By August 18, the change will be applied to all other areas of the kingdom, said a CITC spokesman, adding that the new digit will be added when dialling from mobiles to fixed lines. "Zone codes 01, 02, 03, 04, 06 and 07 of Saudi Arabia will become 011, 012, 013, 014, 016 and 017," said the regulator.
