Rushing to verify subscriber information
Many people in Hanoi are taking advantage of going to network operator stores to verify subscriber information according to new regulations to avoid being locked calls. Many people, especially the elderly, are worried about losing contact if the SIM is locked, so they proactively go to check in even if they have to wait and arrange time with relatives.
Many people believe that subscriber authentication is necessary to limit junk SIMs and scam calls that are becoming common today. Network operators such as Viettel, VinaPhone and MobiFone are deploying SIM locking according to the prescribed schedule, while also extending service hours to support customers to carry out authentication more conveniently.
In addition to going to stores, most users currently perform online verification through the VNeID application or the network operator's application. According to the provisions of Circular 08/2026/TT-BKHCN, each subscriber must have their personal and biometric information fully verified, matching the National Population Database, thereby aiming to build a transparent and safe telecommunications environment and end the situation of pre-activated SIMs and SIMs of unknown origin.
