11880 for German-speaking service and 11811 for Spanish-speaking service
Munich, July 16, 2002 – telegate AG can now score a big success: The Spanish
regulatory authority allocated the requested service numbers to the German
Directory Enquiry Service-provider. Those who want to use the telegate-Service
in Spanish, will soon dial 11811. Those who ask for the German-speaking service,
will dial 11880 – like in Germany. Dr. Klaus Harisch, CEO of telegate: “Now we
realized a further step of our vision: 11880 as a European-wide number for all
information requests. Reachable in all countries and all telephone networks.”
Harisch is also happy about the memorable number for the Spanish-speaking
directory enquiry service: “It will bring us many new customers.”
telegate AG plans to start in Spain by the end of this year. At that time also
Telefónica must release its current service number 1003. Harisch: “We will at
last have a fair competition.” Both numbers, 11811 and 11880 will then be
reachable from the fixed network as well as from all mobile networks. This means
for telegate: 40 million potential customers will be able to call telegate in
Spain. On top there will be 11 million German tourists per year.
