Will it be possible to keep his landline number (numbers starting from 01 to 05) in the metropolis in case of a move by 1er January 2023? As part of this project, the French Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Posts (Arcep) has opened a public consultation on the issue of the demography of telephone codes.
As a reminder, in mainland France, each landline number starting with 01 (Île-de-France region), 02 (North-West regions), 03 (North-East regions), 04 (South-East regions), 05 (South-West regions) corresponds to one of the 412 Basic Numbering Zones (ZNEs). To date, however, in the event of a move outside its FTZ with which its fixed telephone number is associated, users are not entitled to keep their telephone number in 01, 02, 03, 04 or 05. Arcep therefore proposes a relaxation that could lead to the 1er January 2023 to remove the geographical constraints linked to this type of numbers (on the model of what is already happening for mobile numbers in 06, 07 and fixed numbers in 09).
