Mexico

The Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones, Mexico, announces that numbers have been allocated to the mobile and fixed telephony services by satellite with caller charging (geostationary-satellite systems and low-orbit satellite systems).

 The non-geographic national destination code “200” (clave de servicio no geográfico) has been introduced in Mexico for mobile or fixed telephony services by satellite with caller charging (geostationary satellite systems). This national destination code will be available for use, should they so wish, by all satellite system operators authorized to provide public voice communication services via geostationary satellite systems. It is to be used within the framework of a prior subscription, where the local network is under an obligation to provide this type of service to its subscribers.

 The non-geographic national destination code “201” (clave de servicio no geográfico) has been introduced in Mexico for mobile or fixed telephony services by satellite with caller charging (low-orbit satellite systems). This national destination code will be available for use, should they so wish, by all satellite system operators authorized to provide public voice communication services via low-orbit satellite systems. It is to be used within the framework of a prior subscription, where the local network is under an obligation to offer this type of service to its subscribers.

The Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones also announces that the following numbers have been allocated to the companies Telecomunicaciones de México and Globalstar de México, S. de R.L. de C.V., for the provision of mobile or fixed telephony services by satellite:

For calls from other countries, the numbering formats are as follows:

+52 200 150 XXXX
+52 200 151 XXXX

For calls from other countries, the numbering format is as follows:

+52 201 304 XXXX

The aim is to ensure that foreign networks use the correct routing for calls to networks to which the above-mentioned numbers have been allocated.

It should also be noted that, in accordance with point 5.3 of the Plan Técnico Fundamental de Numeración, these numbers are non-geographic ten-digit numbers, unlike the existing eight-digit geographic numbers, and that all subscribers to the satellite networks to which the above-mentioned numbers have been allocated will be identified by means of these non-geographic numbers, which it must be possible to dial, at both the national and international levels, without the need for any translation to be effected at any point in the call.

Tanzania
