Countdown To Eight
Digits Continues
The countdown is now
down to 4 days when
Costa Rica moves to an
eight digit telephone
number system.
At 12:01am March 20, all
telephone numbers in
Costa Rica will be eight
digits as the Instituto
Costarricense de
Electricidad (ICE) makes
the change to allow for
future expansion of
services.
All residential and
commercial phone (fixed)
telephone lines will
have the prefix "2"
added before the current
seven digit number and
all cellular telephone
lines will get an "8".
ICE says that all
international operators
have been notified of
the change, allowing
international callers to
get through without any
inconveniences with
connecting to Costa
Rica.
