By determination of 11 January 2007, ANACOM approved the draft decision on the establishment of two new codes within the National Numbering Plan (NNP) “761” and “762”, their designation as flat-rate call services, the definition of their features, and the allocation criteria and conditions attached to the rights of use for numbers.
A flat-rate call service is a means to access goods, services or contents, the payment of which takes place by making a telephone call, with a tariff defined by the service access code. This service enables the access, always in the same way, to anywhere in the country, and to a specified number which corresponds to the service access codes.
The tariff ceilings apply regardless of how long the call may take and the hour the call is made, and vary according to the access code: 1€ and 2€ (no VAT included), at the most, per call, for the “761” and “762” codes, respectively.
The allocation of the rights of use for these numbers must be requested by a company providing electronic communications services to the public. Companies to which such rights are allocated are subject to several conditions, namely: compliance with the service designation and features, including tariff ceilings; ensuring that the number disclosure attaches at all times explicit information on the respective price and other conditions applicable to its use; pursuing portability of the number where the customer so requests, according to Regulation no. 58/2005 of 18 August. The interconnection conditions defined in the Electronic Communications Law also apply, especially rules laid down in the reference interconnection offer to non-geographic and customer charged services.
This determination was submitted to the prior hearing of interested parties, and to the general consultation procedure, a time limit of 20 working days having been set in both cases.
The deadline for reception of comments, which must be sent preferably by email to tarifa_unica_PNN@anacom.pt, thus expires on 13 February 2007. Once the consultation procedure has been completed, received replies shall be disclosed in this website. For this reason, interested parties are requested to state clearly the elements deemed confidential.
Bearing in mind the likely effects of this determination on consumer interests, ANACOM has requested an opinion on the intended decision from the Instituto do Consumidor (Consumer Institute), DECO, FENACOOP, UGC and ACOP, within 20 working days.
