Engineer Mohamed Ibrahim, a spokesman for the National Communications Regulatory Authority, confirmed that the agency has taken decisive measures to confront illegal promotional calls, explaining that any person practicing this profession without reconciling his conditions and recording his data with mobile companies, so that the name of the connected entity or company appears, his plan will be stopped, and his device is withheld, with legal accountability.
National Communications Regulatory: Stop the lines that violate promotional calls
Ibrahim explained that this step came after following up the abuses during the last period, as it was initially the unregistered lines, but some individuals resorted to buying new lines and completing the activity, which necessitated the issuance of more strict decisions by stopping the lines and devices together.
He pointed out that the number of lines that were reconciled during the last year exceeded one million lines, all of which showed the name of the entity or company instead of the caller number, which contributed to reducing the inconvenience of citizens and controlling the telecommunications services market.
The agency spokesman added that about 90% of the lines were already registered, while only about 10% of the callers have not yet completed the procedures, pointing out that many major companies, especially in the real estate sector, have already undergone these controls after referring their violations to the Public Prosecution and fining them with large amounts.
