Why did Telecom restore Arqami service
The article addresses the issue of mobile SIM registration under the names of individuals who are unaware of it. A 19-year-old Egyptian student was sentenced to 25 years in prison for using a phone line registered in his name in a drug trafficking case, despite having no knowledge of it. This has raised concerns about the mechanisms for registering phone lines and protecting personal data. In response, the National Telecommunications Regulation Authority (NTRA) reintroduced the "Aqrāmi" service through the My NTRA app, which allows citizens to view all lines registered in their names while safeguarding privacy through new measures such as hiding part of the numbers and biometric verification. Additionally, the parliament is taking steps to tighten oversight of SIM registration processes, update data regularly, and enable citizens to report unknown lines to help authorities take the necessary legal actions.
