Basic National Numbering Plan (Plan Fundamental de Numeración Nacional - PFNN)

The Comisión Nacional de Comunicaciones, Buenos Aires, announces the introduction of the new Basic National Numbering Plan for Argentina. The Plan is intended to serve as the basis for ensuring the rational use and administration of the numbering system as a limited national resource, for the benefit of users and telecommunication service providers. One of the most important considerations is that the numbering system should be easy to understand and user-friendly. Before 31 January 1999 the national (significant) number will increase from eight to ten digits (country code: 54).


1. Present situation

The current numbering system uses fixed-length eight-digit national numbers consisting of a variable-length area code (one to three digits) and a variable length subscriber number (five to seven digits). Although less than 10% of total numbering capacity is now being used in the country as a whole, the corresponding figure for area code 1, Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (Area Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (A.M.B.A.)), is approximately 50%. The code format for special services is 1XY, except for operator services (19 and 000).


2. Structure of the national number

Length - All national numbers will have ten digits.


Structure of the national geographical number

The national geographical number is composed of the area code and the subscriber number and will consist of ten digits, as illustrated in Table 1.

Characteristics:

Restriction on the use of the digit zero (0) as the first digit of the national number. The use of the digit zero (0) as the first digit of the national number is restricted, since it is assigned to the access prefixes.


Structure of the subscriber number

The subscriber number which identifies users within a local service area with the same area code, may consist of six, seven or eight digits (variable length). It is made up of the exchange identification number and the exchange extension number as shown in Table 2.

Characteristics:

- Restriction on the use of the digit zero (0) at the beginning of the exchange characteristic number. The use of the digit zero (0) as the first digit of the exchange characteristic number is restricted, since it is assigned to the access prefixes.

- Restriction on the use of the digit one (1) at the beginning of the exchange characteristic number . The use of the digit one (1) as the first digit of the exchange characteristic number is restricted.

- Exchange extension number. This will always consist of four digits, from 0000 to 9999 (g, h, i, j).


Structure of non-geographical numbers

The generic structure of non-geographical numbers is given in Table 3.

Structure of special service codes

The special services include emergency calls, community services and the customer care services of telecommunication service providers.


The special services (except for operator services) will have the following format: 1XY.


Where:

1 is the special service code
X is the generic code for the type of special services
Y is the code for the specific service (0 to 9)


The groups of special services defined by the generic code X (0, 1, 2), are shown in Table 5.

4. Programme of changes (general)

The changes made during the transitional stage should be widely publicized in order to explain the underlying reasons and principles and make the new basic national numbering plan (PFNN) clear to users.


Detailed programme of changes


Changing the length of new national numbers to ten digits

The process will take place in two stages, so that the change-over to ten-digit national numbers is completed by 31 January 1999.


Extension of local numbering:

The digit “4” will be placed at the beginning of all the present subscriber numbers in order to form the new subscriber number. By adding one digit, the numbering capacity in each area code area will be multiplied by ten.


Example:

Localities

Present subscriber number

New subscriber number

A.M.B.A.

820 5656

4 820 5656

La Plata

83 6789

4 83 6789

Córdoba

45 6789

4 45 6789

Tinogasta

2 6789

4 2 6789


Extension of area codes:

The new area codes will be formed by placing a new digit “A” at the beginning of the present codes. As a result, the number of available area codes will be increased, and it will be possible to make more local numbers available by reducing the area code to one digit as and when necessary. This will provide the necessary flexibility for future development of the PFNN. Future requirements for new area codes will be met by using either free slots in the A = 2 or 3 series or codes set aside in the plan.


The digits to be placed at the beginning of the area codes are as follows:

In the A.M.B.A. A = 1
Southern inland area A = 2
Northern inland area A = 3


Example:

Localities

Present national number

New national number

A.M.B.A.

1 820 5656

1 1 48205656

La Plata

21 83 6789

2 21 4836789

Córdoba

51 45 6789

3 51 4456789

Tinogasta

837 2 6789

3 837 426789


  • Change-over for current cellular telephone users whose numbers do not correspond to their local area

Once the PFNN is published, cellular service providers who have users with trunk identification codes different from those at their interconnection points may apply for integrated numbering in order to start the gradual change-over. The old non-integrated numbering must have been abandoned by 31 January 1999.


  • Change-over for non-geographical numbers

The present non-geographical numbers will be modified by adding two digits formed by repeating the subscriber number digit immediately following the non-geographical service identification code “600” and “800”.


Example:

Type of service

Present number

New number

600

600 23456

600 22 23456

600

600 65432

600 66 65432

800

800 23456

800 22 23456

800

800 65432

800 66 65432

Other non-geographical services currently in operation will be required to start using their new non-geographical code before 31 July 1999.


  • Use of prefixes for long-distance carrier selection

Once the relevant notification has been received from the Regulatory Authority, local service providers will have six months within which to make it possible to select the long-distance operator by means of the prefix dialled.

The Comisión Nacional de Comunicaciones (CNC)), Buenos Aires, announces that the Secretaría de Comunicaciones has undertaken the modification of 21 area codes in the National Numbering Plan.
