It will lead to heavy chaos and trouble for the mobile operators and its subscribers. They should think thrice before launching this bullshit and uncouth plan.

Stop reseving 92,93 & 94 codes for the heavy weights. also, cancel mobile numbers wich are not used for more than 6 months. You will get far more numbers than what will be required in next 5 years. And for future use "8" for all CDMA numbers in the country. More than 26% of our populaion lives Below Poverty Live and another 40% in villages. how can't we make proper usage of the existing numbering scheme??? Mobile Operators union is extremely unhapy with the move and so are the common people. Just think before you Act.

Stop doing experiments. It's a matter of 350 million users. An estimated 20 million man/month will be collectively required to clear up this mess. Billions of cards and brochures have to be reprinted. Big numbers will be ugly and confusing. Lastly, the telecom companies had raised more than 12 thousand crores by selling special numbers to the corporates, professionals and individuals. TRAI should arrange to refund the full amount with interest because while issuing the numbers people were promised of 30 years of usage.

Don't worry about the numerology factor here! Whatever number you add to the number 9 you get the same number. So unless they don't change the prefix number 9 to the mobile numbers no worry to numerology thing! :) Hey…

[/quote] For every mobile number, there exists a network. Each active unit of the network - the base station, the receiver, the transmitter, etc. have their own identification. Typically, these units are given a numeric identification within the range given by the DoT to the operator. So for every number range (9876-xxxxxx) given by DoT to the operator, some 50% odd are booked by the Network services for their use. That's how the DoT has come up with just 626mn users... [quote]
