Vietnam just removed a few months ago one digit of all the mobile phones making all the previous number recorded for the country invalid.
- smnrchrds 8y agoSo much this. Iran's phone number formats have changed at least 4 times in the past 20 years, and I am sure many more times if you go back a couple more decades.

- TeMPOraL 8y agoYup. Another example: Poland dropped a "0" prefix from area codes for landlines some ten years ago.
