1 February 2003 - expansion to national 7-digit plan

'5' was prepended to existing 6-digit fixed subscriber numbers. That is, 8xxxxx was changed to 58xxxxx (or internationally, +297 8xxxxx became +297 58xxxxx).

'9' was prepended to TDMA cellular mobile phone subscriber numbers of the form 6xxxxx. That is, these numbers became 96xxxxx (or +297 96xxxxx in international format).

Existing Primo GSM mobile subscriber numbers were already in 7-digit format (567xxxx) and were not changed.
