Punctuation question.

If I say, "I'll be using XXXXXX as my primary mobile number for the time being and until the new year", no comma is needed before the word "for". But, if I say, "For the time being and probably until the new year I'll be using XXXXX as my primary mobile number", is a comma needed after the word "year"?

If so, why?

Adam Eerish if I say, "For the time being and probably until the new year I'll be using XXXXX as my primary mobile number", is a comma needed after the word "year"? No, but you may wish to insert it for clarity. We often do so with fronted adverbials.
