As a result of the continuous growth in demand for telecommunication services in Qatar, the Regulatory Authority has decided that the Qatar National Numbering plan (NNP) should be revised.
In 2010, mobile and fixed numbers in Qatar were changed from 7 to 8 digits , and Mobile Number Portability (MNP) was launched in January 2013 in order to meet supply with demand.
In keeping with open and transparent regulatory processes, the Regulatory Authority has announced the launch of a public consultation process on the National Numbering Plan (NNP) review.
To assist interested parties and different stakeholders, the public consultation document has been prepared to include a draft of the revised National Numbering Plan version (7).
The consultation document is available at this link. The closing date for submission of comments is November 3, 2013. Comments should be submitted by email to: numbering@ict.gov.qa.
