Direct-In-Dial (DID Number Hosting)
Description of service
DID Hosting in:
- Australia (in country carrier/provider)
- New Zealand (in country carrier/provider)
These services will be delivered via SIP to Customer.
Number Hosting can originate calls (‘call termination’) on the Customer’s behalf.
This requires the use of service numbers that can either be leased to Customer by Cytrack or numbers provided by the Customer and ported to Cytrack’s appointed carrier from another carrier.
With call termination, Cytrack’s appointed carrier, on Customer’s behalf, hosts the ‘B’ party’s service number, and calls to that number are originated from the ‘A’ party’s carrier and passed to Cytrack’s appointed carrier for termination as directed by Customer.
Call Termination Services
Description of service
Call Termination Services (CTS) in:
- Australia (in country carrier/provider)
- New Zealand (in country carrier/provider)

CTS allows calls originated within the Customer network to be terminated by Cytrack’s appointed carrier, either within Australia or internationally, on either fixed or mobile networks. With CTS, the Customer originates the call from the calling party (‘A’ party) and the Customer requests Cytrack’s appointed carrier to terminate the call to the called party (‘B’ party).
Local Number Porting (LNP) Service
Description of service
The Service provides local porting from PSTN, ISDN and VoIP Services to the Cytrack’s appointed carrier Infrastructure in Australia as ordered from time to time by Customer.
The Service is provided in respect of local numbers.
The Service is available in respect of simple and complex ports, classified as follows:
Australia
- Simple or ‘CAT A’ Ports. These are single number ports.
- Complex or ‘CAT C’ Ports. Typically these involve 2 or more numbers, number blocks, and numbers with complex services attached to them (e.g. ISDN, Fax Duet).
In Australia, LNP is only available between a losing carrier and gaining carrier where there is a bilateral agreement between them. Cytrack’s appointed carrier or its Affiliate has bilateral agreements in place to support local number porting from all major carriers. Cytrack’s appointed carrier can provide the Service with 100% geographic coverage throughout Australia.
New Zealand
- Simple Ports – These are ports of between 1 – 50 numbers.
- Complex Ports – These are ports of 50 or more numbers.
In New Zealand, local and mobile number portability is managed via a centralised Industry Portability Management System (IPMS) regulated by a determination under the TCA and the LMNP Terms. LMNP is only available for access seekers and access providers who are parties to the LMNP Deed. Cytrack’s appointed carrier or its Affiliate is a party to the LMNP Deed.

Number Hosting can terminate calls on the Customer’s behalf. This requires the use of service numbers that can either be leased from Cytrack or numbers provided by Customer and ported to Cytrack’s appointed carrier from another carrier.

- if the User does not bar CLI in respect to calls transiting by the Service, when a call is made using the Service, the relevant telephone number may be sent automatically to the equipment of the called party;
- if a party calling a Cytrack hosted number has not barred their CLI from calls made from their equipment, the telephone number of the calling party may be displayed on the screen of the handset which receives the call, if the handset is technically capable of displaying CLI; and
- where a party calling a Cytrack hosted number has chosen to bar CLI then, if the Customer requests, Cytrack’s appointed carrier will pass the CLI of the calling party to the Customer via the Service, and the Customer must comply with its obligations under the Act to bar the CLI prior to terminating the call to the User.
