Mobile Numbers to Start With '8'?
By: Tech2.com News Staff   |   Jul 02, 2009

It's no secret and no surprise that India's mobile market is booming and with it DoT is running out of mobile numbers starting with 9. As a result they will have to resort to allotting mobile numbers starting with the number 8.

A couple of months ago there was also talk of Dot considering an 11-digit numbering system. The telecom department had come up with a 30-year numbering plan in 2003 but the fast growth in the telecom subscriber base has forced the authority to relook into its policy and consider 11-digit numbering system.

DoT will reportedly allocate nearly 10 crore numbers for this out of which 50% will be kept reserve by DoT themselves.

According to TRAI there are 415 million cellular subscribers, compared to 277 million during the same period last year.

This might spark off a rush for the so-called VIP numbers that many are willing to pay big bucks for and service providers cash in on.
