## Numbering scheme

Teletalk uses the following numbering scheme for its subscribers:
+880 15 N$_1$N$_2$N$_3$N$_4$N$_5$N$_6$N$_7$N$_8$
Where, +880 is the ISD code for Bangladesh and is needed only in case of dialing from outside Bangladesh.
15 is the access code for Teletalk as allocated by the Government of Bangladesh. Omitting +880 will require using 0 in place of it instead to represent local calls, hence 015 is the general access code.
N$_1$N$_2$N$_3$N$_4$N$_5$N$_6$N$_7$N$_8$ is the subscriber number.
In 2018, when Mobile number portability was introduced users can port to any operator without changing its number.
