Allocation of numbers
The current format of 7 digit telephone numbers was adopted on 3 June 1995, when 1 to 3 numbers (depending on region) were added to numbers to standardise on number length. At this time, the international direct dialling code became 00 (previously 90), in line with ITU recommendations. Also, the unified number for emergency services was changed to 112 on 1 October 1995. Over the years new number allocations such as new mobile networks (Vodafone Iceland and NOVA), were granted prefixes.[1]

| 1xxx | 3 or 4 | Emergency and Service Numbers |
