Bangladesh (country code +880) - Communication of 3.IV.2006: Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), Dhaka, announces the new numbering plan of Bangladesh, which will be implemented shortly. 1. Introduction 1.1 The National Numbering Plan (NNP), last reviewed during 2001, covered basic as well as other services like cellular mobile, paging, etc. Though it could cater to the needs of existing and new services for another few years, yet it was felt necessary to rationalize and review it because of the introduction of a large number of new telecom services and opening up of the entire telecom sector for private participation. The existing Numbering Plan was formulated at a time when there was no competition in the basic telecommunication services and the competition in cellular mobile services had just started. 1.2 The existing Numbering Plan having certain limitations and bottlenecks which were likely to create complications in the telecommunication growth in the country, it was felt to review it and to formulate a plan, which will be futuristic, flexible and could cater to the numbering needs for about next 25 years in respect of the existing and likely new services. Keeping this in view, the new Numbering Plan has been formulated for a projected forecast of 100% tele-density by the year 2031. 1.3 Main objectives of the plan: a) b) c) d) e) f) g) to plan in conformity with relevant and applicable ITU standards to the extent possible. to meet the challenges of the changing telecommunication environment. to reserve numbering capacity to meet the undefined future needs. to support effective competition by fair access to numbering resources. to meet subscriber needs for a meaningful and user-friendly scheme. to standardize number length wherever practical. to keep the changes in the existing scheme to the minimum. 1.4 Only the decimal character set 0-9 has been used for all number allocations. Letters and other nondecimal characters shall not form part of the National (Significant) Number (N(S)N). 1.5 Dialling procedure as per ITU-T Recommendation E.164 has been followed. 1.6 Some of the salient features of the National Numbering Plan (NNP) are as follows: • • • • • • • • • 1.7 N(S)N is ten digits for both the basic as well as the cellular mobile services. Basic to cellular mobile service calls shall use prefix “0“. Basic services shall be accessed by cellular mobile using “0“. Carrier Access Code (CAC) for ILD has been reserved as “10“ to cater for multiple ILD Scenario in coming years. Separate Carrier Identification Codes (CIC) has been earmarked for toll and non-toll quality ILD services. All the service providers shall use “100“, “101“ and “102“ for Police, Fire and Ambulance services respectively. Intelligent network service access codes shall be available on “08“ series. Certain level “1“ codes are earmarked for all service providers to offer various subscriber related services, as per their choice, within their network. Enough spare levels/codes are reserved for future needs. Structure of the international public telecommunication number International public telecommunication number structure for geographic areas according to clause 6.2 of ITU-T Recommendation E.164. Country code: (National (Significant) Number) (NDC + SN): 1 to 3 digits (n) max (15 – n) digits International public telecommunication number for geographic areas CC: NDC: SN: n: Country Code for geographic areas National Destination Code Subscriber Number Number of digits in the country code Note: National and international prefixes are not part of the international public telecommunication number for geographic areas. 1.8 Different zones of Bangladesh Various Zilas/ Districts covered in each zone are as below: South-East Zone Central Zone Dhaka City, Zinzira and Savar Narayanganj District H/Q Gazipur District H/Q and Tongi 1.9 Brahmanbaria Comilla Chandpur Lakshmipur Noakhali Feni Chittagong Cox’s Bazar Khagrachari Rangamati Bandarban North-East Zone Sunamganj Sylhet Habiganj Moulvi Bazar Sherpur Jamalpur Netrokona Mymensingh Kishoreganj Tangail Munshiganj Manikganj Narayanganj excl.
