The subscribers are being added at around 10 million numbers every month and the DOT&#8217;s numbering plan which was made in 2003 seems to be out of calculations with the huge growth of telecom industry in the current decade.<\/p>\n<p>There are chances that &#8216;9&#8217; would be added in the prefix of all the mobile phone numbers once this is implemented. Though i feel there are some ways to come out of this situation making the consumer happy which is by making all the deleted, cancelled numbers available which is atleast 20% of the total base and increasing every month and also the telecom authority should automatically redirect or prefix &#8216;9&#8217; in the numbers whenever dialed making the 11 digit system a backend change and no problem for the consumers to edit all their contacts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iam sure its hard to memorize all the 10-Digit mobile phone numbers of your friends which is the reason some of you would be maintaining some mini pocket dairies, digital diaries or some cool mobile phones like iphone where you can save huge amount of contact information, but guess what the government thinks that the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[671],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3668","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tech-news","8":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/11-Digit-Mobiles.jpg?fit=170%2C150&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7436,"url":"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/mobile-number-portability-mnp\/","url_meta":{"origin":3668,"position":0},"title":"Change Mobile Operator with Mobile Number Portability (MNP)","author":"Amit Bhawani","date":"December 3, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"If you are not happy with your current Mobile Phone operator because of Billing Issues, Signal Problems, Call Drops or any other issues you don't have to worry now because the TRAI [Telecom Regulatory Authority of India] has now offered a new scheme under which you can switch your operator\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Corporate Talk&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Corporate Talk","link":"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/category\/corporate-talk\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Mobile Number Portability","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Mobile-Number-Portability-150x150.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":10279,"url":"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/four-phones-numbers-isim\/","url_meta":{"origin":3668,"position":1},"title":"Four Phones Numbers in One SIM through iSIM","author":"Yogesh Patel","date":"April 19, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"Aiming high to return in the Indian market, this time not with the mobile phone but with intelligent SIM (iSIM) application.
