Code number resources belong to state-owned assets, managed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and paid by users.

For users, only the right to use the number has no ownership, and the transfer and inheritance of the number is limited to the right to use.

The process from generation to use of a number is not complicated. Generally speaking, the generation of a new number segment is determined by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and then distributed to the group companies of the three major operators, then distributed to the provinces according to the usage situation, and then distributed to cities and counties step by step.
