What the City Association Means
0240 is traditionally associated with Nantes; fixed-number assignment is no longer geographically restricted.
An 01–05 number no longer proves where its user lives or where a call originates. Since 1 January 2023, operators may assign or retain these fixed numbers anywhere in Metropolitan France. City associations describe the plan’s historical structure, not current geolocation evidence. Mobile 06/07, multipurpose 09, value-added 08 and overseas numbers follow different rules.
