1. Action for IRM/BPC/CST: Please repeat this telegram as an
ALDAC.
2. The Embassy has been notified by Pakistan National
Telecommunications Limited (PTCL)that effective June 30, 2009, all
telephone numbers in the 021 area code (Karachi) and all telephone
numbers in the 042 area code (Lahore) will switch from a seven digit
dialing sequence to an eight digit dialing sequence. In both cases,
the number 3 will be the first digit in the dialing sequence. The
listed telephone numbers in both areas will remain the same except
for the preceding number three before the listed seven digit
telephone number. Although this change took effect on June 30,
2009, there is a two-month period where both the seven and eight
digit sequence will work. After August 31, 2009, only the eight
digit dialing sequence will work.
3. The new telephone number for the Lahore switchboard is 3603-4000
(local),042-3603-4000 (national long distance) and 92-42-3603-4000
(international long distance). The IVG code for Lahore is still
842. Add the number three before the seven digit number to dial
other numbers in Lahore. Cell phone numbers remain unchanged.
4. The new telephone number for the Karachi switchboard is
3520-4200 (local),021-3520-4200 (national long distance) and
92-21-3520-4200 (international long distance). The IVG code for
Karachi is still 922. Add the number three before the seven digit
number to dial other numbers in Lahore. Cell phone numbers remain
unchanged.
5. Islamabad and Peshawar telephone numbers have not been affected
by this change.
