The minimum phone number length (excluding the country code) is 8 digits, and the maximum is 9 digits.

Note: The Ministry of Communication has instituted a "number portability" policy allowing easy switch between service providers. This policy dictates that a subscriber can transfer phone service to another operator without changing phone number. Therefore, a phone number prefix does not necessarily indicate the current operator for the specific phone number.
