In 1996, the first private phone companies, Connex and Dialog, were allotted from the remaining prefixes, which were county-like, 2 digits, prefixes. In the beginning, Connex got the prefix "92" and Dialog got "94". Calling a Connex mobile from any phone in the country was "0-92-xxx-xxx". Afterwards, Connex also got "91" and "93" area codes, Dialog got "95" and "90", the newly founded Zapp Mobile got "98", and Cosmorom "96". Short numbers were now allowed in both the older form and in 4 digits long forms, both with a leading "9".
