Change of Telephone number format for Chipinge

TelOne advised its clients and stakeholders that it has digitaiised the Chipinge Exchange.

Chipinge landline numbers will therefore be changing to include a three digit prefix after the area code with effect from 18 May 2015. Numbers will be modified by adding three (3) digits (204) before the existing number. The area code remains 0227.

For example
If the Chipinge number is currently 0227 2233 the new number will be 0227 204 2233. When one is making a call from within Chipinge they simply dial 204 7233. Telone says that this change will introduce new and exciting services for Chipinge residents which include prepaid voice, video and audio conferencing, interactive video, response (IVR) and ADSL broadband.

The dial tone will change from the usual high pitched continuous tone to a low pitched discrete tone. Clients may experience a service disruption on 16 and 17 May 2015 as a result of the changeover process.
