The history behind Dutch phone numbers

• Early telephone exchanges:
• The first telephone exchange in the Netherlands was established in 1881 in the city of Amsterdam, followed by the establishment of several other exchanges in various cities. Initially, these exchanges were operated manually, and phone numbers consisted of short numerical sequences assigned to subscribers within the local exchange.
• Introduction of automated exchanges:
• As the telephone network expanded, automated exchanges were introduced to replace manual ones. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Netherlands began adopting automated rotary exchanges, which led to the introduction of longer phone numbers. The length of phone numbers varied based on the size of the local exchange.
• Area codes and national numbering plan:
• In the mid-20th century, as the telephone network grew further, a national numbering plan was established to standardize phone numbers across the country. This plan included the introduction of area codes for different regions. The area codes were usually two or three digits long, followed by a local number of varying lengths.

• Mobile phone numbers:
• With the advent of mobile phones in the late 20th century, separate numbering ranges were assigned for mobile services. Mobile phone numbers in the Netherlands typically begin with "06" followed by eight digits.
• Transition to 10-digit numbering:
• As the demand for phone numbers grew, the Netherlands transitioned to a closed 10-digit numbering plan in the 1990s. This allowed for a significant increase in the available number ranges and facilitated the integration of landline and mobile phone services.
