Rare and prestigious prefixes

[Leon]

Polish mobile telecomunication has begun in 1992 with analog Centertel. Its prefix used to be 090 until "unification" of Polish telephone numbersto 9 digits. Today the prefix is 690. It is almost impossible to meet with the number beggining with 690.

GSM net came to Poland in 1996 with operators Plus GSM and Era. The first one got prefix 601, the second one 602. In 1998 Centertel started its GSM brand called Idea with prefix 501. These prefixes are believed to be the most prestigeous and usually assosiated with buisness users. They're pretty rare, yet still avalible on market - I have got brand new 601 prefix number on September last year for in my job.

And actually "mir doch scheiẞegal" what number I got I care of how much I pay

btw...

Additional series:

0700, 0701, 0702, 0703, 0704, 0706, 0709

In Poland 0700 is a synonym to a sex-telephone, as it's "premium number" with a very high minute-cost. It used to be popular in 1990's, yet still some remember tv ads with naked women singing "Zero - Seven - Zero - Zero..."
