 (2) A number that was recalled from a customer (the previous customer) for any other reason must not be issued to another customer (the new customer) for a period of 6 months from the day it was recalled, unless:

 (a) the carriage service provider does not hold any other suitable numbers and the new customer:

 (i) is informed that the number has been recalled from the previous customer within the previous 6 months; and
