The move intends to free up sufficient numbering resources for future use. This announcement shall be played whenever a subscriber dials a fixed to mobile call without prefixing "0.' All fixed line subscribers will be provided with '0" dialing facility. Landline-to-mobile calls must be dialed with the prefix "0". All telecom providers have been intimated of this change and are given the deadline of January 1 to take all the necessary steps.
