Numbering geography

Showing all 6 source contexts.

- Application identifier categories listed by the 2023 IoT plan
  Section 11.3 lists application identifiers 00–07 and an Others category with sector/application descriptions.
  The table permits additional identifiers after consultation with the Authority and states a consistency rule for same or similar services across operators.
  The categories are not evidence of actual current service assignments.
  Effective from: 2023-02-21. Source, review date and qualifications
- Relationship boundary between the 2018 National Numbering Plan and separate 2023 IoT plan
  The 2023 plan expressly calls itself an addendum to the National Numbering Plan 2018 and separately states that the earlier plan did not accommodate SIM-based IoT numbering.
  The retained root-qualified 2018 Annexure I-B table is a separate source layer. This 2023 plan does not by itself provide a post-2023 amendment chain or current allocation crosswalk for the 2018 table.
  Effective from: 2023-02-21. Source, review date and qualifications
- BICMA Mobile Network (SIM) Based IoT Numbering Plan of Bhutan; identity and purpose
  The title page and sections 1–4 identify a separate SIM-based IoT numbering plan for Bhutan.
  The plan says it is an addendum to the Bhutan National Numbering Plan 2018 and states commencement on 21 February 2023.
  Historical source-specific context. This does not establish amendment, repeal, replacement, or current force of the 2018 plan.
  Effective from: 2023-02-21. Source, review date and qualifications
- IoT Service Provider and enforcement provisions in the dated BICMA plan
  Sections 13–14 set licensing, directive compliance, testing, device registry, security/accountability and enforcement duties for the plan's subject providers.
  These are source rules, not evidence of implementation or a complete later legal chain.
  Effective from: 2023-02-21. Source, review date and qualifications
- Network Service Provider obligations in the dated BICMA IoT plan
  Section 12 sets network-provider licensing, compliance, testing, registration/reporting, IoT-only use, automated-service, security, tariff, agreement and related duties.
  The plan's no-voice and automated data/SMS rules are scope-specific statements for SIM-based IoT service.
  The provisions do not prove provider compliance, particular active number blocks, current legal force, or geographic coverage.
  Effective from: 2023-02-21. Source, review date and qualifications
- Separate SIM-based IoT number structure stated in the 2023 plan
  The source describes a 12-digit format excluding country code, country code 975, BTL network identification code 19, TICL network identification code 79, application identifier 00–99, and an eight-digit device-number field.
  The example is “975 19 01 YYYYYYYY” for a BTL smart-power-metering application.
  These are plan definitions and examples, not verified live subscriber assignments or extensions to the fixed geographic table.
  Effective from: 2023-02-21. Source, review date and qualifications

The browser detects your device’s configured zone, which may differ from your physical location. Time rules: IANA tzdb 2026e. Location labels use its retained country tables. Times use the selected IANA entry; they are not a claim about every location in the country. The initial selection is a starting point; it does not confirm the capital’s time, country-wide time, or your location.

Code scope and kind describe the retained source record; a number prefix is not automatically a standalone destination code. Source-record state and its named-area relationships are separate. Listed in source does not confirm present allocation, live service, routing, activation, subscriber, carrier or caller location. Older records have no inferred withdrawal date. Unconfirmed records retain their specific visible qualification. Original names come from the cited code sources. Use the reviewed dialing guidance for domestic-prefix handling; no universal digit-removal rule applies.
