Georgia’s national numbering system of electronic communication networks will change gradually starting from March to December this year, according to the Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC), which oversees the operations of telecommunication and broadcasting companies on the Georgian territory.

 At first, the geographical zone dialing codes will be changed: eastern Georgia’s geographical zone dialing code will start with the number 3 and western Georgia with the number 4.

The dialing code for Tbilisi has changed from 22 to 32. In addition, the international access code prefix to Georgia will be 00 (double zero), while the national prefix will be 0 (zero) instead of previous access number 8 (eight).

The prefix number 5 (five) will be added for mobile network codes, while the prefix number 2 (two) will be added to the city phone numbers.

GNCC also created 112 - a Special Centre hotline number where customers can dial and receive any kind of emergency information.
