Viewing cable 09KIGALI56, TELEPHONE NUMBER CHANGES - U.S. EMBASSY KIGALI AND RWANDA

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

SUBJECT: TELEPHONE NUMBER CHANGES - U.S. EMBASSY KIGALI AND RWANDA 
 
1. Changes to Rwandan telephone numbers will be implemented 
beginning February 1, 2009.  Currently there are three types of 
phone numbers in Rwanda: ten-digit Rwandatel Cellular; eight-digit 
MTN Cellular; and six-digit Rwandatel land line numbers. 
 
2. All phone numbers will be migrated to ten-digit numbers beginning 
with a zero.  When calling from outside Rwanda, the leading zero 
will be dropped.  Following are explanations for calling Rwanda from 
another country. 
 
A) Rwandatel cellular numbers already have ten digits and will 
remain the same. 
 
B) MTN will use '78' in their new phone numbers. Examples are: 
 
Old Number            New Number 
 
250 0830 3479         250 788 303479 
250 0300 0222         250 783 000222 
 
C) Rwandatel will add '252' preceding its six-digit land line 
numbers, phasing in the change throughout the month of February. 
We intend to send a separate telegram as soon as the implementation 
date for this change to Embassy land line numbers is confirmed. 
Once the change goes into effect, the Embassy pilot line will change 
from 250 596400 to 250 252 596400. 
 
3. Beginning February 1, primary contacts for the US Embassy in 
Kigali will be available on these cell numbers:
