Transition to Nationwide 11 digit format from August 2020:
The BTCL or Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Ltd. is in the process of converting all its landline numbers to 11 digits. This will also do away with the NWD system and is somewhat similar to the numbering plan existing in Australia for more than 20 years. However, instead of having separate prefixes for each Division or District the number format will be +880-02-XXXX-NNNNN. In most cases the last 5 digits of the existing landline numbers will remain the same though some will be entirely different. For example, a subscriber having a landline telephone number that was +880-02-8831234 (Gulshan Exchange) before August 2020 will probably have his/her number converted to +880-02-2222-31234. The whole process will take quite some time and create a whole lot of confusion because at the moment there are telephone numbers with 5, 6, 7 and 8 digits (Dhaka City itself has 7 digit and 8 digit numbers existing side by side) and the NWD numbers range in length from 2 digits to 6.

The above new numbering plan is being carried out even though the number of landline subscribers is steadily dwindling as in most other countries.

There is no change in the existing numbering plan for Mobile Phones or for VoIP/Internet Telephony. However, 011 assigned to Citycell has effectively ceased to exist after the operator went bankrupt a few years ago.

The person or persons who have been making edits to this Article since August 2020 were probably unaware of the above information or they may be living abroad. A simple visit to BTCL's website  will prove my explanation as given above. Regards to all. Abul Bakhtiar (talk) 13:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
