On January 25, the Department of Telecommunications ( Ministry of Information and Communications ) issued Official Dispatch No. 409/CVT-CPTN announcing the withdrawal of telecommunications numbering allocated to SPT Company.
Specifically, the Department of Telecommunications has allocated the telecommunications numbering system to Saigon Post and Telecommunications Services Joint Stock Company (SPT Company) for service business. The package includes fixed phone numbers, prefixes 1800 and 1900. However, SPT Company has not paid the fee for using the telecommunications numbering system to the State for a long time, greatly affecting the management work.
“Based on Point c, Clause 2, Article 50 of the Law on Telecommunications, which stipulates the revocation of telecommunications numbers in cases where organizations and individuals who have been allocated telecommunications numbers do not pay the fee for using telecommunications numbers, the Department of Telecommunications announces that it will repossess the telecommunications numbers allocated to SPT Company before March 31,” the dispatch clearly stated.
To ensure the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and users of telecommunications services related to telecommunications services provided by SPT Company, the Department of Telecommunications hereby notifies users who are using telecommunications services associated with telecommunications numbering (fixed-line phone numbers, 1800, 1900 numbers, etc.) provided by SPT Company. At the same time, prepare an alternative plan to avoid damage caused by the revocation of telecommunications numbering by enterprises.
It is known that the numbers 1800 and 1900 are switchboard numbers widely used in Vietnam. They are used to receive calls, but do not have the function of making outgoing calls. The 1800 number is free for users to call. While the 1900 switchboard has a call charge.
According to information on SPT's website, this company rents out service packages with the prefixes 1800 and 1900 with an installation fee of 1.5 million VND/time. The monthly management fee is 300,000 VND. In addition, the company also collects fees from customers with the prefix 1800 and shares profits through the 1900 switchboard./.
