I've got some old contacts in Cairo which I want ro revive.
Around the year 2000/2001 the first three digits of phone numbers within the Cairo vicinity changed.
Can someone provide me a link so I can look up the new digits??
The old numbers started with 360**** (Mohandseen) and 341**** (Zamalek).
I am already aware that seven digit numbers changed last year into eight digit ones but I am having difficulties to figure out the step before.
Help please. TIA.

Add 3 at the beginning for Giza which includes Mohandiseen - so you'll have 3360****
Add 2 at the beginning for Cairo which includes Zamalek - so you'll have 2341****
I don't know anything about numbers changing around 2001 but you can try this website which lists telephone number changes worldwide since 2000.

Hey thanks for your reply. Yes I am aware of last year's change and also of the website.
But there was another change few years ago which covered the whole Cairo area and this change is not listed on the link. F.e. the Mohandseen number changed from 360 to 7** something like that. They forwarded me their new number but I lost it. Well if I can't find any info on that I just have to wait for a couple more months and make a surprise visit!!
I did send an inquiry to Telecom Egypt but as far as I am aware of I can't call their hotline number from outside.

call 140 and tell them the old number and they will give you the new number.
