Starting 15th of December 2010, all new mobile phone numbers which are registered will have the code 011 in front followed by 8 different digits at the back for each user. Previously, it was 010,012,013,014,016, etc in front depending on the telco plus 7 different digits for each user. The increase in digits is to accommodate the rising number of mobile phone users in the country. Refer webpage below by DiGi.
