97  Recall of issued number and issue of replacement number
 (1) A carriage service provider may recall an issued number (the current number), from a customer and issue the customer with a replacement number only if:
 (a) recall and replacement is required by law; or
 (b) the customer asks for recall and replacement; or
 (c) the customer agrees to recall and replacement; or
 (d) recall and replacement would avoid the need to modify or replace plant or equipment in a way that would:
 (i) have significant technical and financial consequences for the carriage service provider or its customers; or
 (ii) cause significant difficulties for the customer; or
 (e) the ACMA approves an application by the carriage service provider under section 98.
 (2) The carriage service provider must notify the customer of:
 (a) the carriage service provider's intention to recall the current number and issue the customer with a replacement number; and
 (b) the date on which recall and replacement will occur.
 (3) The period between the date of the notice and the date on which recall and replacement will occur must not be less than 90 days.
 (4) However, the period may be a shorter reasonable period if:

 (b) the customer agreed to a shorter period; or
 (c) the number is recalled under section 98, and it is not reasonably practicable to give the period of notice required by subsection (3).
