The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Lebanon (TRA) has issued for consultation the first draft of the Numbering Plan which proposes changes to the existing National Numbering Plan and Charging.

The numbering management is concerned mainly with telephone numbers which customers need to use when making calls or sending messages. The proposed changes are being introduced due to a shortage of number blocks available for allocation to Service Providers. These changes represent a significant milestone in reducing such a shortage and improving the numbering needed for Customers and Users of Public Telecommunication Services. The Numbering Plan is being currently launched for consultation. Interested parties can submit their feedback before the 2nd of May, 2008. To view the full document click here
