Those of us dialling from overseas (where publicity on the changes is zilch) are just getting tri-tone for the numbers that changed on 8 April. Can Telecom Eireann not afford some message machines to tell us what has changed, instead of playing do-da-de and putting more work on enquiries services? Does any other telco not put out a message on changed numbers? London is still doing so for calls to 1 or for incorrect 71/81 numbers, as is the Dutch PTT.
