There are many phone numbers in Estonia. Most numbers start with 5. Now there are also numbers that start with 8.
New numbers are needed because there are many phones. Numbers 81-84 are used like old numbers.
Numbers starting with 8 have been used for a long time. Telia uses them a lot. There are about 25,000 of them.
People are afraid of scam calls. Scam calls mostly come from numbers starting with 5. Numbers starting with 8 are safe.
The state controls the numbers. TTJA is responsible for this work.
