Benefits of changing the 0125 prefix to 085

When switching to a 10-digit prefix, the first and most obvious benefit is that the revenue of SIM card agents has increased dramatically. Moreover, changing the 0125 prefix to 085 inadvertently created a beautiful number, increasing the value of the SIM card.

2. Limiting spam messages

If you continue to use an 11-digit prefix, you will continue to receive spam messages and telemarketing calls every day. They create annoyance, cause distraction, and affect the work and lives of users.

3. Symbolizes luck

In terms of feng shui, changing the 0125 prefix to 10 digits brings many benefits in terms of luck and positivity. Specifically:

Number 0: This is the starting number for all network providers and it also symbolizes new beginnings. The close-knit, soft curve of the number 0 also represents smoothness and completeness in all matters.

Number 5: In the business field, the number 5 represents stability and balance. Moreover, being the central number in the natural number sequence with 1 digit, the number 5 also symbolizes authority and honor.

Number 8: The number 8 in Chinese means “prosperous,” which refers to development, wealth, and luck. This number is a symbol of luck, prosperity, and constant success in life.

When these numbers are combined, we can see that changing 0125 to the 085 prefix brings many benefits in terms of luck, prosperity, and continuous progress. What is more special is that 085 is not only compact but also easy to remember.
