Commercial Court Division In 1999 over the objections of Israel, the ITU reserved the use of ITU – Recommendation E.164 code 970 for the PA as a preliminary step towards permanent assignment.

To my mind therefore, a solution for GOSS as a non member of ITU was to go the way of the PA and not get a temporary arrangement with the Government of Uganda. In answer therefore to the issue whether the code +256 47 xxx was assigned to Southern Sudan the answer is; no.
