3+8 number prefix

The 3+8 numbering range is a new range of mobile numbers with a common 3-digit prefix (011) followed by the next 8 digit (011-7XXX XXXX) subscriber number (e.g. 011-72345678).

The current mobile number range consists of 3+7 digits (e.g. 018-1234567).

We will keep you posted at www.yes.my once we are ready to deploy the new numbering range.

Yes, you can. You can opt to register for the 3+7 numbering range as long as the 3+7 numbers are still available from your chosen mobile operator.

The 3+8 numbering range are only inventories. The call charges are still based on service plans. If the service plan is the Yes Plan, the call charges will still be 9 cents per call regardless of the numbering range in use. Technically, there are no additional interconnect charges attached to the new 3+8 numbers; it is still the same as the 3+7 number range.

Quality should be the same as 3+7 numbers; both number ranges are still riding on the same network and facilities.

Currently we do not have the number portability service (MNP) in Yes. Once the service is made available, you will be able to port your 3+8 number.
