Summary

Recommendation ITU-T E.212 defines a unique international identification plan for public fixed and mobile networks providing users with access to public telecommunication services. The ITU-T E.212 identification plan was originally developed for use in public land mobile networks (PLMNs). The plan is hierarchical and identifies geographic areas, networks and subscriptions. The main body of this Recommendation describes the pure identification plan.

Amendment 3 introduces Annex H, which provides the criteria for the assignment of shared E.212 resources for specific use cases to applicants that are regional and other international organizations (ROIO)/standard development organization (SDO)-specified networks.
