The Georgian National Communications Commission once more explains that in accordance with the Charter on National Numbering System of Electronic Communications Networks of Georgia confirmed by the Georgian Government’s Resolution N355 of November 18, 2010 changes were made to the numbering system in 2011. The numbering of fixed, fixed wireless and mobile networks has been changed.

Eight-digit numbering of mobile network was added -5 as first digit and subscriber number became: 5XX XXXXXX.

Numbering of fixed network was added -2 as first digit and subscriber number in Tbilisi became seven-digit: 2 XXXXXX, in regions subscriber numbers became six-digit: 2 XXXXX.

Eight-digit numbering of fixed wireless network was added -7 as first digit and subscriber number now looks like: 7XX XXXXX.

Besides, special and emergency short format numbering changed in autumn of 2011.

Numbering of emergency services are the following:

Fire Department – 111

Patrol Police - 122

Ambulance – 113

Emergency Gas Service – 114

Security Police – 125

08 and 09 format short numbers became:

118 08

118 09

From now it is possible to connect to special and emergency services from mobile or fixed network without code. National prefix “8” has been changed. We should dial the national prefix “0” for making domestic long-distance calls and calls made from mobile to fixed network and vice versa, from fixed network to mobile network, and for making international calls we should dial international prefix “00”.

There is a new rule of dialing the numbers of companies providing long-distance and international phone service. The codes of new 10XX format are, for instance:

8-07 shall be replaced by 10-07;

8-10 shall be replaced by 10-10;

8-11 - by 10-11;

8-16 - by 10-16;

8-18 - by 10-18

And so on.

In order to make a call it is necessary to dial first the code of the company providing long-distance and international phone service, international prefix “00”, then the code of the country, the code of the city and the number of a subscriber (if you make a call abroad ), for instance, 10XX00… If a call is made within Georgia it is necessary to dial the code of the operating company providing long-distance and international phone service, the code of the city and the number of a subscriber, or nine-digit number of a mobile subscriber, for instance:  10XX 0…
