Keys to Status field
- Allocated
- Numbering capacity designated to the listed Operator.
- Designated
- Numbering capacity set aside for a future possible use, e.g. to protect blocks that might be used for migration.
- Free
- Numbering capacity which is not allocated at the time of publication of the list.
- Protected
- Where numbering capacity has been withdrawn from service, the block or code is sterilised for a period, typically 2 years. Alternatively the Numbering Unit might protect capacity for a limited period, to avoid dialling errors into similar codes.
