Plain English Summary

8/10 complexity

Specifies how telephone, data and special‑service number ranges are allocated and used across Australia, mapping numeric prefixes to geographic zones and service types and defining number structures.

Affects carriage service providers (who apply to ACMA and must meet detailed application, notification and allocation rules) and end‑users (call routing and charging). It matters because CSPs bear the compliance and operational costs of meeting allocation rules while ACMA retains discretion over who receives and how numbers may be used.

EXAMPLES OF DATA NUMBERS1. Full numberA data number with the components mentioned in Part 1 of Schedule 3 might be 0 5052 9876543210.0 is the address format prefix.5052 is the data network identification code (comprising the data country code 505 and a network code 2).9876543210 is the network terminal number.2. Data terminal number containing a private network identification codeA data terminal number containing a private network identification code might be 50572500321654.5057 is the data network identification code (comprising the data country code 505 and a network code 7).2500 is the private network identification code.3 is the geographic routing code for Victoria.21654 is the private network terminal number.2. Escape codeAn escape code used as a data number might be 961398287300.0 is the escape code, showing that a telephone number follows and that an analogue interface to the telephone network is being requested.61398277300 is an international number.

Part 2 Explanation of components of data numbers

Component	Number of digits	What are the digits?	Purpose
Address format prefix	1 digit	Must be ‘0’	Distinguishes a full data terminal number from an abbreviated form of a data terminal number
Data country code	3 digits	The digits assigned by the ITU for use in Australia	Identifies that the number has been assigned by the ITU for use in Australia
Data network identification code	4 digits	The combination of a data country code followed by a network code	Identifies the data network being contactedIf private network identification codes are allocated, or available for allocation, identifies a collection of private network identification codes
Data terminal number	14 digits		The combination of a data network identification code followed by a network terminal numberThis is the usual form of address available to make a data network call, and must be preceded by an address format prefix
Escape code	1 digit	If the escape code is to be followed by a telex number, the code is ‘8’If the escape code is to be followed by a telephone number, and an analogue interface to the telephone network is to be requested, the code is ‘9’If the escape code is to be followed by a telephone number, and a digital interface to the telephone network is to be requested, the code is ‘0’	Shows that the sequence of digits following the code is a telephone or telex number, not a data terminal number
Geographic routing code	1 digit	The recommended digits are:‘2’ (New South Wales)‘3’ (Victoria)‘4’ (Tasmania)‘5’ (Northern Territory)‘6’ (Australian Capital Territory)‘7’ (Queensland)‘8’ (South Australia)	Enables a call to a data number to be routed to the particular point of interconnection with the carriage service provider that is allocated a private network identification code geographically closest to the point of termination of the callThis number is assigned at the discretion of the carriage service provider
		‘9’ (Western Australia and the Indian Ocean Territories)
Network code	1 digit	Any combination of digits	Identifies a specific data network or group of data networks
Network terminal number	10 digits	A data terminal number without a data network identification codeThe number must not be preceded by an address format prefix	A permitted form of address available to make a data network callThe number may be issued by the carriage service provider to which the corresponding data network identification code, or part of a code, is allocated
Private network identification code	2 to 4 digits	A 2 digit code. The first digit is ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’A 3 digit code. The first digit is ‘4’, ‘5’ or ‘6’A 4digit code. The first digit is ‘7’, ‘8’ or ‘9’However, in all cases, the first digit must not be the same as the address format prefix	The first 2, 3 or 4 digits of a private network terminal number
Private network terminal number	The number of digits (6 to 8) that, when added to a private network identification code, make the network terminal number a 10‑digit number	The digits of a data terminal number without the data network address code and the private network identification codeThe number may start with a geographic routing codeThe number must not be preceded by an address format prefix	A permitted form of address available to make a data network callThe number may be issued by the carriage service provider to which the corresponding private network identification code is allocated

Guidelines — application for geographic numbers or location independent communications service numbers for use in connection with a service using IP technology

Part 5 Guidelines — application for geographic numbers or location independent communications service numbers for use in connection with a service using IP technology

These guidelines set out matters to which a carriage service provider (CSP) must have regard when providing a statement, under clause 2.7 or 3.7 of this Schedule, in an application for the allocation of geographic numbers or location independent communications service numbers that are to be used in connection with a service using IP technology.

The provision of numbers for carriage services within Australia

Under section 455 of the Telecommunications Act 1997, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is required to develop and maintain this Telecommunications Numbering Plan 1997 (the Numbering Plan). The Numbering Plan provides for the specification of numbers for carriage services by service type. Numbers must be allocated to CSPs as specified under the Numbering Plan. Numbers allocated to CSPs must be issued to customers for the supply of carriage services that are consistent with the service type for which they have been specified. CSPs must take reasonable steps to ensure that numbers are used in a manner that complies with the provisions of the Numbering Plan.

Geographic numbers

Geographic numbers are specified in Schedule 2 of the Numbering Plan. The provisions of Chapter 3 of the Numbering Plan stipulate how geographic numbers may be used in connection with the supply of carriage services in Australia. Section 3.4 of the Numbering Plan sets out the manner in which a geographic number must be used. Subsection (1) of section 3.4 prohibits the use of geographic numbers except in connection with the supply of a local service. Subsection (4) of section 3.4 provides that the call on a geographic number must terminate in the standard zone unit (SZU) in relation to which the geographic number was allocated to the CSP. This requirement can also be satisfied if the CSP can establish a location to which call charges can be applied ‘as if’ the geographic number terminated within the SZU to which it was originally allocated.

Therefore, when requesting an allocation of geographic numbers, a CSP must be able to establish a permanent location to which calls to the number must terminate. The underlying rationale for these requirements in the use of geographic numbers is to provide CSPs with the ability to meet their obligation to provide the untimed local call option to customers in accordance with section 105 of the Telecommunications (Consumer Protection and Service Standards) Act 1999 on eligible local calls.

Section 3.4 provides some flexibility in the use of geographic numbers. Subsections 3.4 (4A) and (4B) provide that if calls terminate at a location that is not in a charging district for the number in Schedule 2, the CSP must advise potential customers of limitations on the provision of the service. The CSP must also obtain an acknowledgement that a customer understands these limitations before entering into an arrangement for supply of the service. However, the CSP will not be required to meet these requirements if the CSP is covered by an industry code, registered by the ACMA under section 117 of the Act and included in the Register of Industry Codes kept under section 136 of the Act, that sets out the information the CSP is required to provide to a potential customer in relation to the use of geographic numbers outside of the relevant charging district for the number. Similar provisions are included in sections 3.5 and 3.7 for numbers of local and broad geographic significance.

When applying for an allocation of geographic numbers a CSP must be able to show that it is able to meet the notification requirements in subsection 3.4 (4B), or demonstrate that it is covered by an appropriate industry code registered by the ACMA.

Furthermore, when applying for geographic numbers, a CSP must have regard to the criteria described in the table at the end of this Part.

Location independent communications services (LICS)

A special services number range 0550 has been specified for use by LICS providers to accommodate nomadic services. This range has been specified in Part 1 of Schedule 4 of the Numbering Plan. The range is for the allocation of numbers for services that will not be charged by reference to a fixed location because they are nomadic. The service will be considered nomadic if it is itinerant in nature or otherwise departs significantly from other service types specified in the Numbering Plan, particularly local services.

The LICS range is also suitable for services that fall below any of the service characteristics of PSTN or equivalent levels.

Geographic numbers will be allocated to CSPs for a service utilising IP telephony if the service meets the requirements of a local service in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Numbering Plan. However, a service where a fixed location cannot be established must be allocated a number from the LICS range. CSPs must not issue a geographic number to a customer to provide a carriage service if this requirement cannot be established.

Selection of numbers

When applying for numbers to be issued to customers for use with IP telephony, CSPs should select a number range that is consistent with the comparable service type described in the following table. Note that PC‑PC based services, independent of the PSTN network, are not included because they are not ‘carriage services to the public’ within the meaning of section 455 of the Act.
