February 13, Colombo (LNW): The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) has issued a directive urging all mobile phone users to ensure the correct registration of their SIM cards.
Customers should verify the registration status of their SIM cards with their service providers, particularly if they were provided by former employers, according to Menaka Pathirana, Director (Compliance) of the Commission.
Pathirana emphasised the risks associated with unregistered or illegally obtained SIM cards and advised promptly disconnecting any such cards to prevent potential misuse for illegal activities.
The TRCSL aims to safeguard the telecommunications network’s integrity by proactively disconnecting unauthorised SIM cards linked to individuals’ National Identity Card numbers.
