Prosecutor probes mobile registration violations
The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority in Egypt announced that it has referred the four mobile companies to the public prosecutor's office due to the registration of mobile lines under citizens' names without their knowledge or actual possession. This move comes after receiving complaints from users revealing that certain lines registered in their names were unknown to them, posing a threat to their rights and putting their personal data at risk. As part of the new measures, the authority suspended the sale and activation of new lines and mandated that companies send alert messages to existing users to update their information through biometric verification and visit company branches. These steps aim to ensure the integrity of the line registration process and protect citizens' rights, with ongoing monitoring and the enforcement of legal penalties against violators.
