Telegraph

Before returning to the cityArea codeWas 08 (the neighboring Tomigusuku and Haebaru villages had the same area code), and there were five 2-digit city area codes 5-8 and 5 (the phone number in Naha city at that time was Most omitted the 1 area code). In 08, the year before the return, the number was increased by one digit to the first two digits in the area code so far (1971-1 is 2 with a 2 on the head 4-3, 32 is 34, 5 is changed to 55 respectively). Upon returning, the area code was changed to 8, and the city code of more than half of the area was changed in several years (68 in the western part of the city, 0988-60 in Oroku and 57-59 in the northeastern part of the city such as Shuri). ). And in December 84, the area code is the current098Was changed to "8", which was the end of the area code until now, and became a three-digit number as the beginning of the area code. In the 3 era, there were only Naha city and neighboring Urasoe city, Haebaru town, Tomigusuku village, but after 0988, the whole south central area of ​​Okinawa main island south of Onna village and Ginoza village and surrounding remote islands (Kumejima and Keira (Ima Islands and Aguni Islands) also have the same area code, and most of Okinawa has become this area code area (Unit charge areaBecause it is the same Naha MA). When introducing the telephone numbers of these areas, including Naha City, for Okinawa Prefecture, the area code 098 is often omitted (also omitted for television and radio). On the contrary, in the north main island north of Nago City outside the area and the Sakishima Islands, the area code is 0980, so the place where the phone number is written as "0980-xx-yyyy" is wrongly "098-0xx-yyyy" Sometimes it is written.

The city code in Naha City started from 3 after it was converted to 8 digits, but from the latter half of the 1990s, the city code starting from 941 such as "951" and "9" has also appeared (Itoman City and Minami In the southern part of the main island, such as the city of the castle, it started from 9, but the city code starting from 8 came out).
