egypt mobile number database fix

“Egyptian mobile phone numbers have all changed on Thursday October 6^th, 2011 as part of a state drive to meet increased user demand”, the National Telecom Regulatory Authority has announced.

The changes mean every Egyptian mobile phone number will now be 11 digits in length.

Amendments are now different for each of Egypt's three mobile operators:

Etisalat

Current 10 digit numbers, which all start with 01, will take an extra 1. They will now begin with 011

Current 11 digit numbers, which all start with 0152, will change the 5 to a 1. They will now begin with 0112

Mobinil

Current 10 digit numbers, which start with 01, will add a 2. They will now begin with 012

Current 11 digit numbers, which start with 0150, will replace the 5 with a 2. They will begin with 0120

Vodafone

Current 10 digit numbers, which start with 01, will add a 0. They will now start with 010

Current 11 digit numbers, which start with 0151, will replace 5 with 0. They will start with 0101

Mobile operators will have four months to fully comply with the decision, during which time users will be able to call using either the old number or the amended one.

The following post can help you update your database with php. It edits numbers starting with +201XXXXXXXX that counts 12 and 01XXXXXXXX that counts 10 and it does handle +2015xxxxxxxx that counts 13 and 015xxxxxxxx that counts 11.

It does not mess with already updated numbers.

It only works on the pattern which means:

("it does not repair a number that is less or more than 10 characters and starts with 01",

"and it does not repair a number that is less or more than 12 characters and starts with+201")

then it sets every 11 character phone number that starts with 01XXXXXXXXX to +201XXXXXXXXX

You can change it to 00201XXXXXXXXX by setting the variable $format=true;
