PTCL Management said that as per PTA instructions we are in progress to change fixed line numbers from 7 digits to 8 digits & Will completed soon. PTCL started this project last year in 2009 when they increased digits to eight.
PTCL completed their increased digit project in two major cities Karachi & Lahore. PTCL added digit “3” in staring of every land line number of Karachi & Lahore.
Now many PTCL customers believe that ‘3’ is added in the city code but the reality is that city code of Karachi and Lahore are same as before. People calling from out side Pakistan has also said that they think that this addition of ‘3’ looks to be added in city code.
