TELKOM CHANGING LOCAL NUMBERS

[John Richard Procter]

TELKOM CHANGING LOCAL NUMBERS TO INCLUDE AREA CODE (10 DIGIT DIALING)

Topaz has been ready from version 1.2 to address local dial code prefixes

The following will be correct

1. Costing
2. Destinations
3. Dial-prefixes
4. Area codes
5. Cli information

There is one problem, numbers will be duplicated in the
Numbers master file e.g. 0215924033 and 5924033 will appear as two
different numbers.

We will provide a standalone program to convert all old format numbers
To the new format e.g. 5924033 - > 0215924033 within the next couple of weeks.
This program will be available from our web site http://www.datatex.co.za for
Downloading.

We strongly advise that companies should only use the new format after this
program is run to prevent further duplications. However you would be able to
run this program again and again.

Running the Update Trx facility in Topaz after running this program
Will attach all call data destinations correctly.
