We run out of numbers starting with six. So we went on to open the era of seven. The Commission of the Telecommunications Market (CMT) has informed through his blog has already started allocation of the first mobile phone numbers to inaugurate a new stage in what the "plates" telephony. And the first to request a game of numbers starting at seven in our country has been the French operator Orange.
In total, 200,000 assignments have gone to Orange, which will begin testing with 100,000 numbers starting at 7477 and as many as starting at 7478. The idea is that on October 1 all the necessary tests have been developed to guarantee that from that date the new numbers can begin to be distributed among the new registrations that are taken.
Be careful, let's not think that our phone numbers are going to change. All the lines that were registered with the beginning of the numbering in six will continue as is. The solution that the new numbers start at seven is due to the exhaustion of the system that is in force today. In other words: the numbering started in six will coexist with that of seven.
The information campaign of the operators will take place between March 31, 2011 and October 31, 2012. What the companies will detail to their clients is that the presence of new numbers starting at seven will not at any time imply changes to the identification of users on lines contracted prior to October 1, 2011.
At the moment, the rest of the operators have not requested the distribution of numbers starting at seven. Orange's pilot experience will focus on internal and experimental lines to make sure that the new numberings that start at seven do not present initiations for their commercial allocation.
