Area code information
22 January 2011 - Lida numbering change
Lida numbers in +375 1561 xxxxx changed to +375 154 5xxxxx as of
22 January 2011 - that is, digit '5' is prepended to the existing
subscriber number portion, while the area code portion is shortened from
+375 1561 to +375 154. Domestically, the new range is dialled
as 8 0154 5xxxxx. No permissive dual dialling period was indicated,
and this appears to be a splash cut with calls to the old numbering
being routed to a recorded message.

Other Information
Withdrew from country code 7 (former USSR territory); ITU assigned country
code 375 in January 1995. Change to new country code took effect 16 April
1995. +7 0 was replaced by +375 in international dialling. A permissive
calling period likely allowed use of both country codes until some unspecified
time in 1997.
