Millions of pre-paid mobile phone subscribers belonging to the Viettel, MobiFone and VinaPhone networks in HCM City may have to re-register their personal information.
The Ministry of Information and Communications has transferred the personal information of five million pre-paid subscribers to the Ho Chi Minh City Police who will be checking to see if the information submitted is correct. Those who are found to have supplied incorrect information will be required to re-register. The work will be carried out by the police over three months.
Checks have already been carried on pre-paid subscribers of Viettel, MobiFone and VinaPhone in Hanoi and Danang which found that around 1.3 million or 25% of all those checked had provided inaccurate personal information.
A representative from a large mobile phone operator said that getting subscribers in Hanoi and Danang to re-register had been difficult. Despite being urged many times and even threatened with disconnection, they still ignored the requests. As a result, many of them are ready to stop using the service.
Last September, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Manh Ha instructed mobile operators to use technical measures to control their pre-paid subscribers’ information.
The Ministry of Information and Communications started checking subscribers’ personal information in 2010, but the work has been carried out very slowly.
Major-general Nguyen Cong Son, Deputy Head of Vietnam’s General Police Department for Administrative Management for Social Order and Safety, said that criminals use pre-paid SIMs for illegal activities such as harassment and stealing telecommunication charges.
The ministry will tighten control over personal information of subscribers by introducing identification cards issued by the Hanoi Police, before expanding the scheme to Danang and HCM City.Tourist Vietnam
