August 2000 - miscellaenous information

GSM mobile numbers are 8 digits excluding country code - that is, dial 08xxxxxx within Rwanda, and +250 08xxxxxx from outside Rwanda.

For August 2000 details, see numbering document for Rwanda (on ITU numbering page).

However, there was a 2004 report of updated numbering ranges courtesy Hugh M. Hamilton, based on findings from the 2003-4 Rwanda telephone directory book:

"The book is the first issued since 1994. Sometime between 2000 and now, the 7 xx xx series in Kigali was changed to 57 xx xx. The 8 xx xx series in Kigali remains as is. There is also one eight-digit landline number: The Office of the President of Rwanda in Kigali, 59 06 20 00."
