On January 23, China Unicom, together with the Number Service Promotion Group of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and some Internet companies, launched an Internet account cleaning service, which is expected to replace the existing account unbundling and appeal process and help users quickly solve the problem of new mobile phone number registration.
Weibo, Douyin, Today's Headlines, Meituan, Dianping, Xiaomi and other Apps have opened up "registration clearance channels" to China Unicom users to uniformly handle the registered information of mobile phone numbers and multiple Internet platforms. At present, the service is only piloted in Beijing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and users who carry numbers to the network do not support it, so it will take some time for this function to be implemented.
Number porting network also faces many problems of incomplete surrounding facilities, such as the update of the home area is not timely, and dialing, texting, etc. need to be transferred. With the gradual improvement of related services and the access of other operators to the "Internet Registration Cleanup", the number can be carried to enjoy this convenient service.
I believe that when you register an account with a newly bought mobile phone number, you will occasionally encounter the problem of "mobile phone number has been registered", and the Weibo account bound to Xiao Lei's mobile phone number has also appeared in a similar situation, it is reported that it is due to the fact that the previous number owner did not cancel or change the Internet account before deprecating the number, and the number carried a variety of accounts to the market again, which was encountered by other users who purchased new cards.
If you want to cancel the binding, the current practice is to submit an appeal to the Internet platform, during which it may be necessary to verify the previous user or send and receive a verification code and other steps, and it may take 24 to 48 hours to get an official reply after the appeal, which is quite cumbersome.
In another case, the user did not pull out the phone card before taking it for repair, and was maliciously exploited by the maintenance personnel. Previously, there were media reports that some maintenance personnel took advantage of the customer's lack of attention to send the number to a so-called "pull new" group, and then the number will receive a verification text message, and then send the verification code to the group to wait for the group owner to confirm. This process can make people in the group get 5 to 8 yuan in revenue, but the customer's phone number is equivalent to leaking out.
Of course, remember to pull out the phone card before repairing the phone later, check whether the phone has been installed with other applications after repairing, find it early, and check it as soon as possible.
In Xiao Lei's view, this Internet registration cleaning function greatly shortens the process of canceling the number binding information, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of existing number resources and setting an example for other operators. As more and more older numbers enter the market, other operators will follow suit.
