Special numbers are short numbers, shorter than 10 digits (currently 3 to 5 digits), and provide access to voice and SMS services that can be free or paid (premium-rate services), for example, gaming services, ring tones download, weather updates, government information, social actions, operator services, customer services, etc.
We make the distinction between special numbers, multi-operator short numbers assigned to operators by the ANRT for public services or of general interest, such as emergency numbers 177 (for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police), 19 (for the Police ) and 15 (for Fire services). These services can be reached from both mobile and fixed devices.
