New Telkom Mobile and 8ta number range announced

This was implemented a few weeks ago already, I was provisioned an 061 number on a prepaid Telkom Mobile sim card 2 weeks ago.
 
Hmm ran into a few problem with these 061 numbers not connecting when calling them but them calling me is fine.
 
I am thinking of getting me a prepaid 061 number for just in case's sake. Heck, why not.
 
its good to see that 06... has left the wilderness and is out of the desert of unuse ... :D
 
My new Cell C digits starts as 061025**** and I Ricad on friday.
 
This report isn't that accurate and that new news either.

For instance 0816 is for WBS Mobile and yet the report states 0811 - 0817 belongs to Telkom Mobile/8ta.

If you understand regular expressions, then you can use like the following for determining the original operator (excludes people who ported of course):
Code: 
"^0(60[6-9]|71[1-6]|7[269]|8(18|2))" for Vodacom
"^0(60[3-5]|71[0789]|7[38]|8(10|3))" for MTN
"^0(61[0-3]|[78]4)" for Cell C
"^0(614|81[1-57])" for Telkom Mobile/8ta

^^ I'm using the above regular expression to determine the operator in my code, but I then also incorporate the ported number list.
 
Awesome feel so tempted to get my hands on 061 number, people will think I stay in another country :p stilll feel paranoid calling strange numbers reason being: Premium number.
 
it generally makes sense to keep the 0 indicator because of internal exchanges and private telecommunication setups. Things (particularly people) can be programmed to register that 0 means that you are phoning off the network (and while there can be allocations that forward to an offsystem call and therefore incur costs it is still known who is being phoned).
