The Hindu Business Line : RIM 10-digit number

HYDERABAD: Reliance Infocomm, has begun migrating its Andhra Pradesh subscribers to an exclusive 10-digit series beginning with 93. This is being done in keeping with the cellular mobile numbering plan in India under the new unified licence regime, and it comes close on the heels of the successful implementation of migration to 93 in Himachal Pradesh and Haryana. The migration to 93 series is under process in Kerala and Orissa.

With this, RIM subscribers in AP can now call each other by dialling the new, unique ten-digit number, and do not have to prefix it with STD codes anymore. Fixed-line callers in the State will no longer need STD facility when calling the new 93 RIM numbers within the State.

The Head - Special Projects at Reliance Infocomm, Mr Inder Bajaj, in a statement said, "all our RIM subscribers both postpaid and prepaid, will soon have new ten-digit numbers. To make this transition convenient for our subscribers, we have ensured that they will continue to receive messages and calls to their old numbers till November 30. "The number change does not affect the prevailing tariff plans nor is it applicable to Reliance fixed wireless phones subscribers."
