After telecommunications businesses deployed one-way locks for subscribers who have not confirmed their usage status, many users began to pay attention to the next handling roadmap if they do not carry out confirmation or authentication according to regulations.
According to current regulations, one-way locking is only the first step in the process of handling subscribers who have not completed usage status confirmation.
After being locked in one direction, there are still 60 days to handle it.
When one-way locked, users will not be able to make outgoing calls or send SMS messages. However, subscribers can still receive incoming calls and SMS messages from individuals, organizations or banks.
During this period, users can still verify or authenticate information according to the instructions of the telecommunications enterprise to reopen the service.
According to regulations, the time from being locked in one direction to applying the two-way locking measure is 60 days.
After the next 5 days, the number will be revoked
According to the processing roadmap, after being two-way locked, users still have 5 more days to carry out confirmation or authentication.
If this time is over and the procedures are still not completed, the telecommunications enterprise will recall the subscriber number and terminate the service provision contract according to regulations.
Thus, from the time of being one-way locked, users have a total of about 65 days to complete confirmation before facing the risk of phone number revocation.
Do not wait until the final stage
Telecommunications businesses recommend that users verify or authenticate immediately upon receiving notification or when detecting that a subscriber is restricted from service.
According to network operators, immediately after completing successful confirmation, subscribers will be reopened to the service without having to wait for the next processing milestones.
Proactive early implementation also helps users avoid affecting communication, work and digital services that are using phone numbers as authentication methods.
