Thread: Mobile numbers starting with 8

Be ready for a change in the mobile phone numbers in India, a the mobile numbers are going to change and you will see new numbers which will start with 8 instead of 9.

The reason for this is that all number starting with 9, from 90 / 91 / 95 / 96 / 97 / 98 / 99 have been allotted to usrs. And as far as it goes for number beginning with 92/93/94, well those have been reserved by Tata Indicom, Reliance Mobile and BSNL. This would mean there would then be a huge variety of numbers which will start with 8 and will replace 9 for mobile numbers, but for those who already have number starting with 9, they will still remain so fear not!

Here is a list of upcoming new “8″ level codes:

8000 - Reliance(GSM) - Gujarat
8001 - Vodafone - West Bengal
8002 - Airtel - Bihar
8003 - Airtel - Rajasthan
8004 - BSNL(GSM) - Uttar Pradesh (East)

8006 - Vodafone - Uttar Pradesh (West)
8007 - Vodafone - Maharashtra
