Dear All,

All operators in Egypt will be changing their prefix from the 6th October 2011 (this Thursday)

Please follow the below new prefix for each operator :

Etisalat

  Before                            After
011 XXXXXXX                     0111 XXXXXXX
014 XXXXXXX                     0114 XXXXXXX
0152 XXXXXXX                    0112 XXXXXXX
0155 XXXXXXX                    0115 XXXXXXX



Vodafone

  Before                            After
010 XXXXXXX                     0100 XXXXXXX
016 XXXXXXX                     0106 XXXXXXX
019 XXXXXXX                     0109 XXXXXXX
0151 XXXXXXX                    0101 XXXXXXX



Mobinil

  Before                            After
012 XXXXXXX                     0122 XXXXXXX
018 XXXXXXX                     0128 XXXXXXX
017 XXXXXXX                     0127 XXXXXXX
0150 XXXXXXX                    0120 XXXXXXX



Note : During the first 3 months and until early 2012 subs who make calls using the old formatting will hear a pre announcement before each call informing them about the change yet the call will go through.

After that phase any call made using the old formatting will hear the announcement yet the call will be dropped
