TRR is opening up the 16X Short Code range to be assigned for Government and NGO public Information Services. The 16X short code range is classified as a Type B, meaning that calls are free of charge to the caller but the Government or the NGO will have to pay for the call origination. Services include voice and SMS services from any network. TRR assigned Short Code 166 for NDMO Information Services for the purpose of providing public warning, alert dissemination and information collection through voice and SMS services. NDMO is planning to implement this service for the first time in Vanuatu at the beginning of the cyclone season in Vanuatu in November 2012.
