Agreed

You can see the number ranges here:
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/104817823/TELKOM-SA-LTD-TELKOM-TARIFF-LIST-1-August-2011

Which I find ... irritating. Yet another example of someone who is making money out of making public data available to the public...


Kind regards,

Subject: Re: [IOZ] ZA phone number allocations

Hi

http://www.telkom.co.za/general/pricelist/numberranges.html
http://www.telkom.co.za/general/pricelist/automaticexchanges_worldcall.html

I see pricing, but not number ranges.

I'm guessing 087135 is BitCo.

They responded to my query with:

wait for it...

"This number falls into our telephone number range and is currently allocated to a customer somewhere within south Africa."

Then they advised me to go put my details in the DMASA list.

I've asked if the people who use 0871350594 are DMASA members - let's                       
see.
