BRASILIA - The early deployment of the ninth digit in cell phones in Rio, in cities with DDDs 21, 22, 24, will be on Oct. 27, called "D-day", according to the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel). On the same date, also will start the ninth digit in the municipalities of the Holy Spirit with DDDs 27 and 28. The whole process, which will go through a transition phase, to be completed by early February 2014, when the system will only accept connections made with nine digits.
The cell numbers River (DDD 21) will receive the ninth digit are those beginning with 6, 8, 9, 71, 72,73,74,75, 76 and 79. After Oct. 27, the phones will have nine digits. Be completed calls made to these numbers if used eight or nine digits, called the "dual living" _ compulsory phase that will last at least ten days. Then scheduled calls to eight digits will be intercepted gradually optional, with a message about the change, but still be completed. This period is 18 days. Thereafter, the bonds will be intercepted for 12 days with the informational message, but will not be completed.
In areas of the interior of São Paulo (DDD 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19), the new system will begin dialing a little earlier, on the 25th of August. The standards are set out in "Book of Technical Requirements for IT implementation in the 9th Digit SMP (Personal Mobile Service)", published by the agency.
In São Paulo and over 63 municipalities of São Paulo (area 11) who began using the ninth digit in 2012, because there was an urgent problem, the numbering capacity rose from 44 million to 90 million numbers. By the end of 2016, all phones in the country will have a number more, standardizing Brazilian mobile telephony.
Networking will begin to be set within 60 days
The initial proposal is that until December 31, 2014, the system begins to operate also in Pará, Roraima, Amapá, Amazonas and Maranhão. In late 2015, the ninth digit is extended to Minas Gerais, Bahia, Alagoas, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará and Piauí. Finally, by December 2016, Acre, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Rondônia, Tocantins, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul
To avoid difficulties in the transition, companies should start setting their nets between 60 to 30 days before the day named D. On this day, is when the public will be informed about the early deployment of the ninth digit. During this period, companies will have to do with testing scheduled nine-digit numbers.
According to Anatel, Brazil will end the year with 262.7 million mobile accesses, with the anticipated expansion of mobile customers in the coming years. Therefore it is necessary to expand the numbering capacity in the country.
