Telephone Area codes

Area codes are also known as Numbering Plan Areas (NPAs) and formerly known as STD codes in the UK. These are necessary (for the most part) only when dialed from outside the code area, from mobile phones, and (especially within North America) from within overlay plans. Area codes usually indicate geographical areas within one country that are covered by perhaps hundreds of telephone exchanges, although the correlation to geographical area is becoming obsolete.

The area code is usually preceded in the dial string by either the national access code ("0" for many countries, "1" in USA and Canada) or the international access code and country code. However, this is not always the case, especially when 10-digit dialing is used. For example, in Montreal, Quebec, where area codes 514, 438, and 450 are currently in use, users dial 10-digit number (ex 514 555 1234), dialing a 1 before this results in a recording advising not to dial a 1 as it is a local call. For non-geographic numbers, as well as mobile telephones outside of the North American Numbering Plan area, the "area code" does not correlate to a particular geographic area.

Area codes are often quoted including the national access code, for example a number in London: 020 8765 4321. Users must then correctly interpret the "020" as the code for London. If calling from another number in London they merely dial 8765 4321, or if dialing from another country, drop the "0" and dial: +44 20 8765 4321.

Telephone numbering plan

Telephone numbering plan is a type of numbering scheme used in telecommunications to allocate telephone numbers to subscribers and to route telephone calls in a telephone network. A closed numbering plan, such as found in North America, imposes a fixed total length to numbers. An open numbering plan features variance in the length of telephone numbers.

A dial plan establishes the expected number and pattern of digits for a telephone number. This includes country codes, access codes, area codes and all combinations of digits dialed. For instance, the North American public switched telephone network (PSTN) uses a 10-digit dial plan that includes a 3-digit area code and a 7-digit telephone number. Most PBXs support variable-length dial plans that use 3 to 11 digits. Dial plans must comply with the telephone networks to which they connect.

landline series for telemarketing calls

Trai had come out with recommendations, ‘The Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2010′ to curb the menace of pesky calls and SMSes. However the implementation of these guidelines was delayed for more than 6 months due to various reasons. One of the reasons is the allocation of exclusive number series for telemarketing calls.

As per the guidelines issued by TRAI, a telemarketer is liable to pay Rs 2.50 lakhs if they make an unsolicited call to a customer who is registered under the national customer preference register. There are two categories of such customers under this register. One is a fully blocked category and the other is partially blocked category. The latter category will continue to receive telemarketing calls in the categories chosen by them.

As directed by TRAI, the Department of Telecom has already allocated a series beginning with 140 to mobile services. But a separate series for landline numbers has not been allocated yet. It is expected that this series will be finalized within a month.

There are several technical issues in allocating a number series for landlines. A landline call is now identified by STD code followed by the landline number. If another series is issued for telemarketing it will impact the current numbering system, as it will add 3 more digit to the current 10 digits. It may require installation or modification of existing equipments in BSNL and MTNL exchanges.

It will also pose a security risk, as it will be difficult to track the calls by the security agencies if the STD code is omitted

Unauthorised ISD call

Hi,
Today (24th july'2011) I received a call in my mobile (Kolkata sim-9836642489) from an unknown ISD number 0013368298591.

I picked it and was saying 'hello' continuously but no voice was there.
The call duration was 25 seconds.
I checked it in internet and found the country code of the call was from Bolivia.

I think it is a fraud call/fake call and we should be careful about this.

Thanks&Regards,
