I don't know if you have encountered a situation.
Just applied for a mobile phone number, still hot, the result of registering the App (such as Weibo, Alipay), found that this mobile phone number has been registered?
In fact, this is not our memory confusion, nor is there a problem with the App.
It's the new phone number we get a lot of the time, not a brand new one, but a "recycling number".
Generally speaking, people voluntarily cancel the number or stop the number for a long time, and the operator will take it back.
But the takeback does not mean that it is not used, after a period of time, the operator will re-release the number, waiting for the lucky one to choose.
Then, because the previous number owner did not unbind or cancel the app, when we registered the app with the number, the prompt "This number has been registered" will naturally appear.
There are many people who encounter recycling numbers▼ ▼
In fact, the recycling number is also counted, if the problem is easy to solve, it is better to say, the key is that it is not easy.
For example, When Alipay encountered this situation, some netizens thought of a way for everyone.
We need to register an Alipay account with another mobile phone number, and then bind this Alipay to an email account.
Then log in to the Alipay account with the mailbox, and then replace the mobile phone number bound to this Alipay with your new mobile phone.
emm, let's not say whether it can solve the problem, anyway, this operation has dissuaded countless people.
In addition to the suggestions of netizens, there are also many App officials who give some solutions.
For example, when this happens on Weibo, we need to provide Weibo with a mobile phone number, a network access certificate, and a photo of the front and back of the ID card to prove that we have indeed not registered an account.
If it is WeChat, we have to save the screenshot, and then contact customer service to deal with it. ( The question is if you can get in touch )
Presumably, you have already seen that the solution of each app is different.
If the former owner did not untie a lot of apps, not to mention people, the donkeys of the production team can't stand to do so.
But!
Today Little Pepper saw That China Unicom launch a new feature called the Internet Registration Cleanup Service.
Just open the China Unicom App, search for "Registration Cleanup" on the homepage, and select the service that you register for Cleanup.
Next, we fill in the last 6 digits of our name and ID card, select the app account we want to clean up, and click Submit Request.
Note that this is not the end of it.
Because app operators have to compare your mobile phone account opening time and account registration time, if it is found that it is indeed an earlier account registration time, it will be cleaned up.
So you need to confirm the mobile phone number account opening time, if the system prompts the time is not right, fill in it yourself.
Finally click Submit Service and wait 5 business days.
This function is good, isn't this much faster than dealing with it one by one?
Although it currently only supports 6 Apps of Douyin, Today's Headlines, Meituan, Dianping, Weibo, and Xiaomi, it is said that the follow-up will increase.
I hope that mobile and telecom will also hurry up to keep up.
Of course, in addition to the above problem, the most annoying thing about the recycling number is that it will encounter harassing text messages and phone calls.
For example, Before the little pepper opened a new Unicom number, the result will be received every time after a period of time to receive a message from Chinese Shou: xxx old sir, your pension has arrived.
The most annoying thing is that the customer service will occasionally call to ask for warmth, let me handle some other pension business.
I'm all right.
After some people apply for a new number on the Internet, they will receive debt collection calls from time to time, and they will be scolded by people who split their heads and cover their faces.
This obviously only chose a new number, ah, how to pit ah than opening a blind box.
Seeing this, there may be some poor friends who say that these problems are not recycling numbers at all.
If the operator does not release the recycle number, everyone applies for a new account, and there will be no such and such a situation.
Well, that's the way it is, and Little Pepper thinks the same thing, and went to check it out.
Found that the number of numbers assigned by several major operators in the mainland is currently 5.5 billion, and we now use about 1.6 billion, does it seem more than enough?
But think about it carefully, although our mobile phone number has 11 digits, the first 3 digits represent different operators, the middle 4 represents the region, until the last 4 digits are in order.
So the little pepper guesses that these operators choose to put the number twice, in order to recycle.
You think, a number that others don't use, just throw it away, then with the passage of time, the number of remaining numbers will definitely be less and less...
And each operator's number segment is limited, especially in a certain area, just a little.
It is certainly good to use the mobile phone number as much as possible.
The problem comes again, since you are afraid that the number is not enough, why not add a digit to the mobile phone number.
The answer is high cost.
Adding a number not only means that the entire management system of the operator must be upgraded, but also that all social systems in the country must be adapted to it, and the cost is definitely not low.
So for now, the problem of recycle numbers seems unavoidable.
It can only be said that before you choose a number, you should check whether the number has a history of payment or business to ensure that it is not a recycling number.
Then if you have selected the recycling number, you can also complain about the number change, or you can only wait for several major operators to launch the relevant one-click cleaning service.
