Hello Patrick, Last weekend (on Sunday morning 3 March 1991), Amsterdam (in The Netherlands) has had their six digit numbers changed into seven digit numbers by prefixing the old number with a 6. The already existing seven digit numbers are unchanged. With this change Amsterdam will have enough free numbers available at least until the mid of the next century. Amsterdam is now the third city in The Netherlands to have seven digit numbers, the other two cities are: Rotterdam and Den Haag (probably better known to you as The Hague).

The already existing Pat and group, Is there a "best" source for a country/city code database? Right now we have a hodge-podge of data gathered from various sources, some with questionable credentials. The folks at Bellcore were happy to tell me that they had no such list, and were unable to give any other sources. This data is available, but I'm looking for a coordinated, definitive set from one source, possibly available on a subscription basis. Thanks for any info.

Well, not really. The 74XXXX exchange can still be called with and without the 6. I would say it is at least a remarkable coincedence that the PTT happens to have a lot of their lines on there (and KLM rents 747 747).
