France has increased the number of digits in telephone numbers several times
over the past 20 years, and it has always been without a hitch.  Each time
the telco has prepared for a barrage of misdials, just in case, but they
have never materialized.  Currently, numbers are ten digits long, everywhere
in the country, although the first digit is actually a selector for your
chosen local telco provider (0 = France Telecom, the historical operator).
