Telephone numbers in Portugal

Portugal changed to a closed numbering plan in 1999. Previously, the trunk prefix was '0', but this was dropped, and the area code, prefixed by the digit '2' was incorporated into the subscriber's number, so that a nine-digit number was used for all calls, eg:

Country Code: 351
International Call Prefix: 00

Examples for Lisbon area code:

        xxx xxxx  (before 1999, within Lisbon)
     01 xxx xxxx  (before 1999, from the rest of Portugal)
+351  1 xxx xxxx  (before 1999, outside Portugal)
     21 xxx xxxx  (after 1999, within Portugal, including Lisbon)
+351 21 xxx xxxx  (after 1999, outside Portugal)

Mobiles similarly changed, with the digits '9T' replacing the prefix '093T', where 'T' is a digit specific to a mobile operator:

     093T xxx xxxx   (before 1999 within Portugal)
 +351 93T xxx xxxx  (before 1999 outside Portugal) 
       9T xxx xxxx  (after 1999 within Portugal)
 +351  9T xxx xxxx  (after 1999 outside Portugal)

Other new number ranges include:

 10xx        Carrier selection codes
 700 xxx xxx Personal numbering
 8xx xxx xxx Geographic expansion 
 800 xxx xxx Freephone
 80x xxx xxx Shared cost
 30x xxx xxx VoIP carriers
