• 2000 (?) numbering restructuring for overseas departments
  • French telecommunications regulator ART has called for comments on proposed numbering plan restructuring for some of the French overseas departments (D¨¦partements d'Outre-Mer, or DOM), due to dwindling numbering capacity in these respective territories: R¨¦union +262, Guadeloupe +590, French Guiana +594, Martinique +596.
  • These places currently have 6-digit subscriber numbers. The expansion would in effect create 10-digit subscriber numbers similar to France's mainland format, by prepending 0 then the country code to the existing subscriber number. As an example, a Guyana number 234567 would become 0594234567. From other nations, the number change would be from +594 234567 to +594 594 234567.
  • Numbering formats in each of the affected DOMs would thus be harmonised with Mainland France. DOMs could implement short 3xxx special service numbers, and mobile numbers could identified with the 06ABxxxxxx format, where the initial 06AB digits would be distributed among France and its DOMs.
  • This plan apparently does not affect other DOMs such as Mayotte +269 or St Pierre and Miquelon +508.
