KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 AFAIK, 11 digits numbering has been put on hold for some time as there are a lot of technical and system upgradations necessary for doing this and the state players (BSNL/MTNL) are reluctant to go in for such system upgrades right now. In any case, the 10 digit numbering will last for atleast 3 years. Correct me if I am wrong... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anshu_s09 18 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 you are totally correct it is assumed that the introduction of series 8 will last for minimum 3 years, as the current growth rate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 I doubt if that would be possible. Because BOSS 0 to 9 would be for that circle only. Unless RGSM has decided to give BOSS 0 to 4 for Maha and the remaining BOSS 5 to 9 for some other circle. That option also is not possible as they have asked subscribers to request their desired last 6 digits and not 5 digits. So no BOSS for all of us outside Maharashtra. :rofl_200: :Contento: :Sorprendido: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
