  4. Number Resource • Background • 7-digit numbering structure can provide 10 million numbers • Todate approximately 1.4 millions numbers left for assignment • IDD (e.g 001) • Short Access • Code (e.g. 1711) • Mobile / Emergency • services ( e.g. 995) • level ‘6’ reserved for 8-digit Plan 6 million numbers 10 million numbers © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 4

  5. Number Resource • Background • IDA projected initially that number resource would be depleted in 2005 • Due to increased numbering demand as a result of the full liberalisation of telecommunication market after Apr 2000, the 8-digit Numbering Plan implementation was brought forward from 2004 to 1 Mar 2002 © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 5

  6. 8-digit Numbering Plan • Existing number dialling format • ABC DEFG • New number dialling format • ‘6’+ ABC DEFG • 8-digit numbering structure can provide more than 60 million numbers © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 6

  7. 8-digit Numbering Plan • Numbers affected • 7-digit fixed line numbers (e.g. DEL, DID) • 7-digit internet dialup numbers • Numbers not affected • Numbers with leading digit ‘0’ & ‘1’ • 8-digit mobile and paging numbers © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 7

  8. 8-digit Numbering Plan • Numbers not affected • Emergency numbers (e.g. 999, 995) • 1800 toll free and 1900 premium based numbers • 800 ITFS & HCDS numbers © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 8

  37. UK’s Migration • Highlights of UK CPE implications • Small PABX and key systems • Users are generally unwillingly to let the modifications take place during office hour © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 37

  38. UK’s Migration • Highlights of UK CPE implications • Small PABX and key systems • Modifications may involve switching systems off and reloading site specific data • Typically modification takes up to 4 hours on a small switch © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 38

  39. UK’s Migration • Highlights of UK CPE implications • Large PABX • Most can be re-programmed using an attached terminal rather than being switched off • Most have adequate memory to store data tables which contain codes on which routing and barring take place © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 39

  42. UK’s Migration • Highlights of UK CPE implications • Switches/ISDN routers • Some may need new telephone numbers to be re-programmed • Due to the large numbers stored, it is likely to be done by a maintenance engineer © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 42

  43. Conclusion (CPE Suppliers) • By 1 Dec 2001, CPE suppliers should identify non-8 digit compliant equipment • Between 1 Jan 2002 to 31 Mar 2001, CPE suppliers should re-program and test equipment • By 31 Mar 2001, CPE suppliers should complete re-programing and testing © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 43

  44. Conclusion (SBOs) • Before 1 Dec 2001, SBOs should identify, modify and upgrade systems and services • Between 1 Dec 2001 to 28 Feb 2002, SBOs should conduct test with FBOs • By 1 Mar 2002, SBOs’ systems and services should support 8-digit Numbering Plan © IDA Singapore 2001 www.ida.gov.sg 44
