Numbering Rules 2018
The Numbering Rules 2018 were cited and came into force in exercising of the powers conferred by section 70 of the Communications Act 2015.
All numbers to be used for communications across Tonga are established and maintained by the Ministry through proper allocation, assignment and also consider reserve of numbers.
To be eligible for these numbers, application must hold a valid communication licence granted by the Ministry.
It is at the discretion of the Ministry to award numbers for such application with some criteria of assessing applications set as below:
-
eligibility of the applicant
-
type of service the numbers intended for (Allocation Plan)
-
the time it takes for the numbers to be activated or in service
-
the rate of utilisation of existing assigned numbers for the same service
For mobile and fixed numbers, each assignment block per application contains 10,000 numbers, while Toll Free and Premium Services numbers assign single number per application.
The Ministry may withdraw any assigned numbers from licensees if the purpose of uses is inconsistent with this Numbering Rules and/or Plan, condition given on assignment were not met and if the licensee ceased operation.
