Checks of pre-paid subscribers planned

HA NOI - The Public Securities Ministry plans to check the personal information of pre-paid mobile phone subscribers who use Ha Noi- Police-issued identity cards.

Checks in HCM City and Da Nang will follow.

The checks were necessary because numerous violations were still occurring two years after regulations for the management of pre-paid subscriptions had been introduced, said the deputy director of the ministry's administration of social order department Nguyen Cong Son.

Many people pre-paid mobile phones to harass others; detonate explosives or illegally plug into other people's network, he told a workshop to review mobile services.

Pre-paid mobile phone users found to have registered incorrect personal information would be required to re-register or have their services denied, said deputy Information and Communications Minister El Nam Thang.

Information and communication ministry inspectors have found more than 26,000 customer registrations that included false information and 4,821 incomplete but authorised contracts during the past two years. - VNS
