- The following information from Stentor Canadian Network Management,
- the consortium of major Canadian telephone companies, was distributed
- through the Canadian Department of Communications' Terminal Attachment
- Program Advisory Committee as TAPAC bulletin 92-13.
-
- Advance Notice of Change in the Maximum Length of International
- Telephone Numbers:
-
- Beginning midnight December 31, 1996, CCITT Recommendation E.164 will
- be implemented. This recommendation allows the expansion of
- international telephone numbers from 12 to 15 digits. Although the
- North American Numbering Plan will not change, some foreign
- administrations may assign numbers up to 15 digits long to
- subscribers. Therefore, terminal equipment originating calls to these
- subscribers must be able to handle the additional digits.
-
- For more information on this change, please contact:

-
- Note from NDA: I think the "international telephone number" in this
- context includes the country code but excludes the access prefix, such
- as 011 in Canada and the United States.
-
- Readers in the United States should presumably contact the North
- American Numbering Plan Administration at Bellcore rather than
- Stentor.
