Nat telecoms outlines unnotified line cancellations

The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority has announced steps to cancel lines registered in citizens' names without their knowledge, aiming to protect their data and reduce unauthorized use of phone lines. The authority launched the "My Numbers" service about five years ago, allowing citizens to verify whether their name appears on registered numbers through the authority's app. If unknown numbers are discovered, they can visit the mobile provider's branches to fill out a "Non-Holding" form and sign it, which leads to the termination of those lines. Recently, the authority received over 4,000 complaints regarding this issue and urged citizens to contact the authority via the number 155 or through its digital platforms to verify if there are any unknown numbers under their names. It was clarified that the responsibility of the line owner begins after signing the purchase contract, and lines that are not used for three months are automatically suspended. Citizens are also advised to be cautious when sharing personal data to protect it from leakage or illegal use.
