    Pano ba to lahat ng 02 essentially magiging 028? Regardless kng pldt or globe? O may chance na pag pldt 8 pag globe 7? If yes what we need to know is anong digit nag start sa globe at anong digit (fr the orig 7 digit number) ang sa pldt

    Actually, the question I think was, how do you assign the correct telco identifier for a certain 3-digit prefix in an efficient manner.

    As an example, if you have a phone number in your phonebook that starts with 02-278-xxxx. How do you know for certain if you need to put an 8, 7, 6, 5, or 3 before the 3-digit prefix?

    In the example above, it's easy enough to determine that 02-278-xxxx belongs to PLDT (267 to 299 range), so the new number will then be 02-8-278-xxxx.

    But there lies the rub.... how do you do this automatically on hundreds of contacts.... without error?

    Globe has kindly provided the table below (the link provided by wowiesy) for guidance. But it doesn't change the fact that without a tool or app of some kind, this has to be done manually for each of your landline contacts.

    Having an Android or iOS app that can do that is not too far fetched. It just needs to have the proper permission to read and modify contacts.

    Do you guys have 100's to 1000's of landline numbers on your phone?
    Pretty much sort on excel can do that.

    Lucky for me, naka tag sa name kung ano ang globe at pldt number.

    Meron ako dating nadownload na app sa playstore na nagsesegregate ng globe and smart. Im sure magkakaroon din dito sa mga landline

    We have an app for this now:

    Thank you Globe!

    Android: 8-Digit Landline Converter - Apps on Google Play

    iOS: 8-Digit Landline Converter on the App Store

    I have only tried the Android version and so far so good.
