July 25

[edit]

Personal communications service mentions that:

A personal communications service (PCS) is set of communications capabilities that provide a combination of terminal mobility, personal mobility, and service profile management.

Does it means that Personal communications service (NANP) are mobile numbers because of providing mobility? I cannot find the mention of ‘mobile numbers’ in NANP or List of North American Numbering Plan area codes. 49.182.135.140 (talk) 01:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most mobile numbers on the NANP, in the sense of telephone numbers assigned to mobile cellular devices, do not have a geography-based area code; although the first three digits of such numbers are commonly referred to as their "area code", this is a bit of a misnomer then. In the USA these mobile numbers have a 5XX "area code". However, according to North American Numbering Plan § Non-geographic services, the converse is not always true: personal communications service 5XX numbers can also be for fixed devices (not using a cellular network).  --Lambiam 11:59, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Punjabi and Bengali instruction language university

[edit]

Which universities in Punjab, India and Pakistan are known to give instructions or lectures in Punjabi and which universities in West Bengal are known to give instructions in Bengali? I was under the impression that all universities in Punjab, India; Punjab, Pakistan and West Bengal in India give only in Hindi and English. Please do enlighten.
