Telegram Destination Indicators
ITU-T Recommendation F.32 (previously F.96)*
Note from the TSB
1	By TSB Circular 179 of 16 October 1995, the Director of the TSB informed the Administrations of the Member countries of the Union and the recognized operating agencies (ROAs) taking part in ITU-T activities that the revised ITU-T Recommendation F.32 (previously F.96): Telegram Destination Indicators, has been approved in accordance with Resolution 1, Section 8 of the WTSC (Helsinki, 1993).
2	This Note is designed to draw the attention of Administration/ROAs that one of the highlighted revisions in the ITU-T Recommendation F.32 is to encourage them to reduce the number of destination indicators (DIs) registered for their telegram networks. Over the past years, many telegram retransmission centres have been adopted a single destination indicator (DI) in format (– –XX) for all destinations or a very few number of destination indicators were assigned to their telegram network. With declining telegram traffic and increasing operating costs, it has become important to minimize the number of destination indicators. This is particularly the case for small offices or those handling a very few number of international telegrams. Therefore, in Section 6 of ITU‑T Recommendation F.32 it is recommended that “the office codes (i.e. the third and fourth letters in a destination indicator) allocated for each network code should be kept to a minimum number in each network”.
3	It would be advisable to remind the Administrations/ROAs concerned that in paragraph 2 of point 6.1 of ITU-T Recommendation F.32, it is also recommended “where the destination network is capable of carrying out the national routing without an office code (e.g. by analysing the address part of the telegram as well as the pilot line), a single office code (XX) is preferred.”

Examples:

Country
or
Geographical Area	

Network
(Administration/ROA)	Destination Indicator (DI)

(First 2 letters
= Telegram Network Code)	
Name
of
Telegraph Office	DI Assigned to
Telegraph Office

(Third and fourth letters = Office Code)	
1	2	3	4	5	
AUSTRALIA	TELSTRA	AA– –	All destinations 	AAXX	
			(including:		
			Cocos-Keeling (Islands) -		
			Indian Ocean;		
			with the exception of:		
			Christmas Island and		
					
			Norfolk Island)		
a)	Christmas Island – Indian Ocean	TELSTRA	IO– –	All destination	IOXX	
					
b)	Norfolk Island	TELSTRA	NV– –	All destinations	NVXX	
					
AZERBAIJAN	BAKU TELEGRAPH	AI– –	All destinations	AIXX	
					
COTE D'IVOIRE	CI-TELCOM	CI– –	Abidjan	CIAB	
			All others	CIAX	
					
KYRGYZSTAN	GOVT	KH– –	All destinations	KHXX	

4	The TSB takes this opportunity to invite all Administrations/ROAs to examine its destination indicators (DIs) which appear in the “List of Indicators for the Telegram Retransmission System (TRS) and Telex Network Identification Codes (TNIC) (6th edition – October 1991)1)”. The particular attention of certain Administrations/ROAs is drawn, who currently allocate a great number of destination indicators (DIs) pertaining to its telegram network, to the fact that keeping the number of office codes to a minimum will not only ease the task of operators in distant countries who have to select the appropriate code in their outgoing telegrams but also will be helpful for offices handling a small number of outgoing international telegrams.
	In order to enable the TSB to publish a new List of destination indicators (DIs) as accurate as possible, you are kindly requested to inform the TSB of any change in the Telegram Destination Indicators of your telegram network. Please reply not later than 31 January 1996, to facsimile number +41 22 730 5853 or télex number 421000 UIT CH (attention: ART/TSB Division).
