The numbers also run out, we don't have to say so. Gone are those years when 9XX did not even exist, calling the landline number of our population did not take us more than six dials on the landline at home, generally a rather ugly white-paste phone with the Telefónica logo. However, not even with 9XX we are worth it, now The CNMC has recommended that the SETSI begin to assign new prefixes to the demarcated provinces, the numbers are running out, although a large part of the fault lies with companies such as Movistar, which force you to assign you a landline with the internet hiring.
You don't have the landline phone plugged into the phone jack either? Do not worry, you are not the only one, I accompany you in the feeling. However, companies are still determined to give us a fixed number, which we do not use. Now, with the recommendation of the CNMC that the Telephone Numbering Plan be expanded, prefixes may be extended in places like Madrid, where the numbers were practically exhausted. The numbering 8 will be added, replacing 9, although this movement has already been carried out in provinces such as Almería, Alicante or Córdoba.
There are numbers that are pending opening, such as 91, however, it is a matter of time, if they are not recycled, these numbers will constantly run out and there will be no choice but to add more and more prefixes. However, fixed telephony is something in disuse beyond companies, the logical thing is that companies begin to not force us to create new phone numbers, just as they "give away" another additional line with the hiring of a mobile line, just with the intention of taking as many numbers as possible. Remember, do not panic if they give you an 8XX.
