Thus, ANCOM’s draft decision for amending the Annex to Decision no. 1131/2014 on adopting the Code of conduct for using internal national short numbers and SMS/MMS short codes proposes changing the destination of the short code 7t subdomain, where t=5, from “micro-payments for services dedicated to adults”, into “micro-payments”, without making a distinction as regards the services for which micro-payments will be performed. Micro-payments for services dedicated to adults are to be performed by means of internal short numbers of the 15vx(y) format.

 

Short codes are used only within an operator’s network, therefore they are not allocated by ANCOM. The right to use short codes is reserved to public electronic communications networks providers who are also providers of publicly available electronic communications services or who ensure the provision of electronic communications services by means of third parties authorised therefor, to whom ANCOM grants the right to use numbering resources in the NNP domains 0Z=02, 0Z=03, 0Z=06 or 0Z=07, by licence for the use of numbering resources.
