New Sounds like they didn't give enough notice.
The Australian public had *years* of notice. And the details about *each* step of the migration was public. We had some media flurry when the first 8-digit numbers appeared due to PABX software not understanding 8-digit numbers, but the regulatory authority's response was pretty much "you've known for years that it was happening - it's not out fault you won't upgrade your PABX software".

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

11/02/1996 - 06/07/1997 Area Code 281 : splits off area code 713 in Texas

Looks like most lead time was less than a year in the states.
