1 March 2004 - international carrier selection

Callers may select a carrier to complete an international call, based on a carrier selection prefix. The per-call selection was to take effect as of 1 March 2004. International carrier selection prefix codes are three digits, of the form '0X0' where the X digit is from 2 through 9.

Code  Carrier
====  =======
020   Mauritius Telecom
030   Emtel
040   Data Communication (DCL)
050   Hotlink
060   Mahanagar Telephone Mauritius (MTML)
070   CityCall
For fixed telephone service, International prefix 00 changes from being a "default" prefix to a "pre-selected" prefix. The difference is that 00 previously routed international calls through a particular carrier by default. Now, callers must make arrangement with their local carriers to pre-select a carrier to which 00 will route international calls.

00 continued to function as a default international prefix in most cases until 30 June 2004. As of 1 July 2004, the 00 carrier must be pre-selected. An exception is for calls from payphones where 00 will be defaulted to a carrier determined by the payphone operator.

Mobile carriers are another exception to these changes. These still use a "+ sign" prefix for international calls as routed through a default international carrier determined by the mobile company.
