Before:
01-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
02-XXX-XXXX (land lines in Bangkok)
03-XXX-XXXX (land lines elsewhere in Thaland)
04-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
05-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
06-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
07-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
08-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
09-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
by requiring the prefix "8" for all mobile phones, we have the following:
081-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
082-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones) --- These are your extra numbers
083-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones) --- These are your extra numbers
084-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
085-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
086-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
087-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
088-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
089-XXX-XXXX (for mobile phones)
hope this helps.

I could be wrong, but I don't think any mobile numbers previously started with 02, or 08
looks like they were holding 08 back to use later, now it will be easier to tell what numbers are mobile and which are land lines
and Daff, it's possible to change the number for messaging services yourself, I just did it over last weekend

The little that I remember of Permutations / Combinations from my school days says that ONLY if the additional digit is variable - then only can you obtain additional numbers.
OR is it that Mathematics has nothing to do with it & it is all about technology ?
Arramsey - your maths is correct. Simply adding a fixed digit will leave you with the same amount of numbers.
the plan is that in the future the 8 will not be fixed, and therefore there will be lots of new numbers. About twelve years ago they added a 2 in front of all HK numbers (at the time they were virtually all fixed line) then over time new digits were added.
It is definitely possible to change the SMS details yourself. Takes two minutes. the services at the various stores in town are for those who don't have time or inclination to do it themselves.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Tuesday 5 September 2006 :-
Over half a million throng AIS, DTAC shops to upgrade phones
==============================================
Mobile-phone users swarmed AIS and DTAC shops between Friday and Sunday amid fears that they would not be able to receive calls once the new 10-digit numbers took effect on Sept 1 if they failed to have the SIM cards upgraded.
More than 610,000 people sought to upgrade their SIM cards at the shops of the top two operators during the three days from Sept 1, the first day the industry started providing free update services for the new 10-digit system.
However, mobile users have until Nov 30 to upgrade the SIM cards before they will be not able to receive incoming calls.
A total of 32 million users, both prepaid and postpaid, have to place an 8 in the middle of the existing two-digit prefix to make mobile-to-mobile calls. Numbers starting with 01, 09 and 06 will become 081, 089 and 086.
International calls to local mobile numbers will also have to have 8 inserted after the country code: 661-234-5678 will now become 668-1234-5678, for example.
For mobile-to-fixed line calls, the numbers will not change.
Since last Friday, all new mobile subscribers have been put on the 10-digit system.
Sunti Medhavikul, chief customer officer of DTAC, said consumers were confused and feared they would be left out.
He said the overwhelming response resulted in a temporary shutdown of the service at two DTAC shops in southern provinces due to the overloaded card-reader system.
Wichian Mektrakarn, the president of Advanced Info Service, suggested it was not necessary for all mobile-phone customers to physically come to the operators' shops because they could always edit the numbers in their handsets' phonebooks by themselves.
As well, AIS customers with Symbian phones can upgrade their SIM cards by using their handset to log on to http:// http://www.ais.co.th/10digits.
DTAC customers can do the same at http://www.dtac.co.th or http://www.happy.co.th and downloading the "Add 8" program.

Why do you think it will be easier after November 30th - when the deadline is past, and there will be a mad dash by all those who haven't updated their sim?
I should have mentioned that I next arrive in BKK on 1st December. So I'll miss the deadline by one day. That's why I'd like to know if it'll be easy (or possible) to upgrade my sim card after 30th November. Anyone know?

the only thing they are doing to those SIMs is changing the numbers for mobiles to 08-, and changing also the messaging center number for sending SMSs

Sim cards need to be upgraded - right? Not just changing the existing numbers in your phonebook, but electronically adding an '8' to your own number so it's recognised as a 10 digit number. This will be necessary in order to send and receive SMSs after 30th November. Is this correct?
Since I won't be in Thailand again until 1st December, I just want to know if I'll be able to upgrade my sim card after the deadline. If not, I'll need to send my sim card to a friend in BKK before I arrive and get them to upgrade it for me, or else I'll lose my number.
Or have I got this all wrong?

How does adding a fixed digit increase the available numbers ?
Before the modification, 02 was for BKK. As BK pointed out, now new mobile numbers can be issued beginning with 082.
Similarly, before the modification, many prefixes were reserved for landlines (038, 075, 076, etc). Now, new mobile numbers can be issued beginning with these (like 0838, 0875, 0876, etc).

Yess TT, you have this all wrong. 
What they are calling "upgrading" of a SIM card does ONLY two things:
1. Change the numbers in your address book to add the additional "8".
2. Change the SMS service number in you message settings to add the additional "8".
You can easily do these things yourself but may not want to depending on how many numbers you have in your address book.
Here is a post from the Thaivisa forum that may clear it up. It is here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81394&st=45
BANGKOK (thaivisa.com) : Last night Thailand's mobile operators changed all Thai mobile numbers from 9-digits to 10-digits numbers. The 9-digit based system will be intact until November 30, to make it easy for the customers.
But you don't need to do anything to continue to call out and receive calls, but you will need to edit your own phone book to include the extra "8" digit for Thai mobile phones.
A lot of confusion has occured because of conflicting information in the media. So here is the lowdown:
1. You do NOT need to visit any AIS, DTAC or True etc. service centre!
2. Your mobile number currently works with both the old number and the new number (until Nov 30, 2006) :
Example:
If your old number was, for example: 01-5432109 your new number is now 081-5432109. Both will work until November 30, 2006 so no worries.
3. You propably have a lot of Thai mobile numbers stored in your mobile or SIM-card. You are advised to manually change all Thai mobile numbers to include the "8" as in the example above.
(You can of course visit your mobile shop to do this for you, but it's not mandatory.)
4. Number presentation (CLID) : You might not yet see the new "8" when someone is calling you from another Thai mobile, but it may work within a few weeks.
5. Soon you will receive a SMS message from your mobile provider to change your SMS settings to include the extra "8" in your phone setting for "SMS Service Centre", but you can leave that for the next few weeks.
6. Please inform you international phone friends and collegues of the new situation. As the example above, you international phone number was +6615432109 - now it is +66815432109
The alteration of local mobile phones to the 10-digit system is to cope with the kingdom's expanding demand for mobile phone services in coming years, according to the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC).
