Definition of Personal Numbering1.3 Personal Numbers enable end users to
be called, using a single telephone number, and toreceive those calls,
via their Personal Numbering Service Provider (PNSP), at virtually
anytelephone number, including mobile numbers.1.4 Personal Numbers are
individually allocated by a PNSP to an end user, but are notthemselves
linked to a network.1.5 A Personal Number is independent of a
terminating network operator. It is thatindependence which enables end
users to control the delivery of incoming calls so that theycan be
reached anywhere, irrespective of location. Personal Numbers may be
allocated on a temporary basis (eg to patients in hospital) or on a
long-term basis.
