Communication of 28.VII.2017
The Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA), Nassau, announces the updated national numbering plan for the Bahamas.
1. INTRODUCTION
The Communications Act, 2009 (Comms Act) prescribes the law applicable to the Electronic Communications Sector (ECS). It empowers the Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA) as the independent regulator of the sector. The Comms Act charges URCA with the responsibility for implementing the Electronic Communications Sector Policy (ECSP) and enforcing the provisions of the Comms Act, which includes a duty to manage state assets such as numbering resources. In accordance with that duty, Section 79 of the Comms Act requires URCA to:
i. Publish a numbering plan for The Bahamas that is in compliance with applicable international numbering standards including the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA); and
ii. Make rules for the allocation and assignment of numbers to licensees.
OBJECTIVES OF THIS DOCUMENT
Pursuant to its duties under the Comms Act, URCA has prepared this document to advise interested parties regarding the current allocation of numbering resources under The Bahamas National Numbering Plan (the NNP). This document, therefore, has the following objectives:
i. To advise interested parties that URCA has published the NNP;
ii. To present a brief overview of the NNP; and
iii. To update interested parties on the allocation of resources under the NNP.
STRUCTURE OF THE REMAINDER OF THIS DOCUMENT
The remainder of this consultation document is structured as follows:
2. PUBLICATION OF THE NUMBERING PLAN
This section provides information about the publication of the NNP, how to obtain a copy of the NNP and application forms for requesting numbering resources.
Pursuant to its duties under Section 79 of the Comms Act
,
URCA published The Bahamas National Numbering Plan (the NNP) on 12 August 2011. The NNP sets out the policy and general guidelines that URCA will use to manage and allocate The Bahamas’ numbering resources.
Interested parties may obtain a copy of the NNP and application forms for issuance of numbering resources from URCA’s website at
http://www.urcabahamas.bs/publications-library.php?cmd=view&id=89&pre=y
. Additionally, a detailed listing of the Bahamas’ central office codes are included in Table 4 in section 4 below.
3. NUMBERING PLAN STRUCTURE
This Section outlines the structure of the Numbering Plan.
The Bahamas is a member of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), which is the basic numbering scheme for the public switched telephone network (PSTN) in countries under Country Code 1. These countries include The Bahamas, the United States of America, Canada, Bermuda, and fifteen (15) Caribbean nations
[1]
. The structure and format for the international public telecommunications numbering plan conform with NANP administration practices and the relevant International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) Recommendations, such as E.164 and E.212. The specifics are outlined below.
The NANP structure is in the format:
NXX – NXX – XXXX where: N = 2 to 9 and X = 0 to 9
(ABC – DEF – GHIJ)
The 10-digit format is named as follows:
DIALLING PLAN
The country code for The Bahamas is: "1"
The Numbering Plan Area (NPA) Code for The Bahamas is: "242". This code is commonly referred to as the area code.
Local number dialling (intra-island) is standardised in the seven (7) digit format as follows:
NXX – XXXX
Domestic Long Distance calls are processed with eleven (11) digits:
1 (242) NXX – XXXX
(The access prefix + NPA + NXX-XXXX).
[2]
International Long Distance calls, within the NANP, are dialled using eleven (11) digits:
1 (NPA) NXX – XXXX
(The access prefix + NPA + NXX-XXXX)
International long distance calls terminating outside of the NANP are dialled using the format required by the terminating country. The prefix 01 or 011 may be used depending on the level of assistance required to complete the call.
The prefix "01" is used for operator assisted calls. These calls would be in the format:
01 + Country Code + Area Code + Telephone Number
The prefix "011" is used for direct dial calls. These calls would be in the format:
011 + Country Code + Area Code + Telephone Number
Directory assistance for international calls (within and outside the NANP) may be obtained by dialling "0".
4. ALLOCATIONS OF NUMBERINGS RESOURCES
Section 4 presents an update on the allocations of numberings resources. The NNP sets the management of all numbering resources in The Bahamas as its principle objective. The following is the current Allocation Table for Central Office Codes under the 242 NPA in The Bahamas.
