LIST OF TELEGRAM DESTINATION INDICATORS
ITU-T Recommendation F.32 (previously F.96)
Note from TSB
1. By TSB Circular 179 of 16 October 1995, TSB announced the approval of ITU-T Recommendation F.32 (10/1995) (previously F.96), in accordance with Resolution 1, Section 8 of the WTSC (Helsinki, 1993), and by TSB Circular 104 of 23 March 1998, it announced the approval of ITU-T Recommendation F.1 (03/1998): “Operational provisions for the international public telegram service”, the text of which was revised by ITU-T Study Group 2.
Accordingly, TSB prepared a List of Telegram Destination Indicators allocated to countries/geographical areas or networks (first two letters) and assigned to telegraph offices of destination (third and fourth letters), in accordance with ITU-T Recommendation F.32 (10/1995). This List also contains special origin indicators and indicators to be used in the preamble line of Government telegrams to designate international organizations, pursuant to paragraph A218 of ITU-T Recommendation F.1 (03/1998).
2. The new List, published as an Annex to ITU Operational Bulletin No. 980 of 15 May 2011, replaces that published in ITU Operational Bulletin No. 879 of 1 March 2007. The countries or geographical areas for which information regarding the cessation of the telegram service has been published in the ITU Operational Bulletin (No.) are appended to this List.
In addition, administrations/ROAs are reminded that the List of Telex Network Identification Codes (TNIC) referred to in paragraph 7.3 of ITU-T Recommendation F.32 (10/1995) is published separately as an Annex to the ITU Operational Bulletin and is regularly updated by amendments.
One of the main objectives of ITU-T Recommendation F.32 (10/1995) is to encourage administrations/ROAs to reduce the number of destination indicators allocated to their telegram networks. In recent years, many administrations/ROAs have adopted a single destination indicator(--XX) for all destinations, or have assigned only a very limited number of destination indicators to their networks. TSB wishes to draw the particular attention of administrations/ROAs to Section 6 of ITU-T Recommendation F.32 (10/1995), which states that “The office codes (i.e., the third and fourth letters in a destination indicator) allocated for each network code should be kept to a minimum number in each network” and that “Where the destination network is capable of carrying out the national routing without an office code (e.g. by analysing the address part of the telegram, as well as the pilot line), a single office code (XX) is preferred.”
3. In the interests of keeping the List up-to-date, administrations/ROAs are requested to check the accuracy of the information it contains and to inform TSB as soon as possible of any changes that should be made for its updating (Fax: +41 22 730 5853, or E-mail: ). Changes will be published in the subsequent ITU Operational Bulletin as Amendments to the List.
4. Furthermore, the information contained in this Annex to ITU Operational Bulletin No. 980 is also available on the ITU website www.itu.int/itu-t/bulletin/annex.html .
5. The designations used and the information presented in the List do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of ITU concerning the legal status of any country or geographical area, or of its authorities.

1) Where possible, the Australian Postal Code should be included in the office of destination on the last address line. For example:
MELBOURNE(3000), BURWOOD(3125), or RICHMOND(7025)
Where the Australian Postal Code is not known by the office of origin, it is advisable to include an indication of the State in order to avoid ambiguities. For example:
BURWOODVICTORIA, or RICHMONDTASMANIA
Telegrams directed to a coast station (for onward transmission to a ship at sea) do not need a postal code or State indication. For example:
PERTHRADIO, SYDNEYRADIO
2) Also valid for Cocos-Keeling Islands – Indian Ocean.
For the record, the former destination indicator “KLID” for Cocos-Keeling Islands – Indian Ocean has been replaced by the destination indicator “KLXX” (All destinations) (see updating of the TRS/TNIC List by Amendment No.15, published in ITU Operational Bulletin No. 558 of 28.X.1993, page 10).
According to the communication by Australia published on pages 2 and 3 of ITU Operational Bulletin No. 584 of 15.XI.1994, the only valid indicator for Cocos-Keeling Islands – Indian Ocean since 31 March 1995, is “AAXX”.
