A mobile phone number, worth 480,000 yuan, hides a bizarre story behind it. In 2016, Mr. Yao in Guangzhou owned a China Mobile beautiful number with a tail number of 5 8s, worth 480,000 yuan. However, when he went to register under the real-name system, he encountered a strange problem: the mobile phone number, worth 480,000 yuan, had been cancelled and disappeared without a trace. Who is behind this? Why did the phone number worth 480,000 disappear? It is worth mentioning that Mr. Yao's mobile phone number is now worth more than 1.4 million! In this article, we will explore this bizarre event, and the twists and turns in it, all starting with an ordinary mobile phone number.
"Exchange 7 for 8"
The story dates back to 1999, when Mr. Yao did not have a mobile phone number with five "8s". At the time, he was using a regular phone number, like most people. But Mr. Yao is not satisfied with the ordinary, he feels that such a mobile phone number is not worthy of his identity, so he resolutely decided to spend a lot of money to buy a favorite mobile phone number.
After many attempts, Mr. Yao finally got his wish and shook a mobile phone number with the tail number "7777". Although the number was not particularly auspicious, it was good enough for Mr. Yao to rejoice for several days and even tell many friends and relatives.
Among Mr. Yao's friends, there was a friend with whom he had a deep affection, and after learning that he had a mobile phone number with a tail number of 4 "7", he took the initiative to find the door. The friend researched it and claimed that the number 7 represented dui in gossip, while dui represented women. He also explained that the more numbers 7 in the phone number, the more peach blossom luck will bring, especially if the number 7 is connected, then their magnetic field will be stronger and the peach blossom luck will be more vigorous.
Although Mr. Yao was in a good mood, he could not bear to take advantage of his friends. He offered to buy the mobile phone number for 1,500 yuan, expressing his unwillingness to take it for nothing. The friend was very moved after hearing this, and immediately agreed to the exchange. So, Mr. Yao got a mobile phone number with 5 "8" tails.
In the years since he used this number, Mr. Yao's career has flourished and his family life has been happy. Although he felt that the number brought good luck, he chose to believe in his hard work and diligence. He has received many requests from others to buy, and even some people are willing to pay a high price for this number, but he firmly refuses because he believes that he is not short of money.
Until 2009, when Mr. Yao's son turned 18 years old, he gave his son a mobile phone number with the tail number of 5 8s as a coming-of-age gift. This decision is not just about good intentions, but also for deeper reasons. Mr. Yao wanted his son to get a better education, so he sent him to high school in Australia. However, this also means that the son will be in a foreign country, thousands of miles away from his father. Mr. Yao gave this number to his son, hoping that it would become a bond between father and son, and also bring good luck to his son. My son liked the number so much that he tied it to WeChat to keep in touch.
So far, this mobile phone number has been used by Mr. Yao's son until an "accident" occurred in 2016, which completely changed the fate of the Yao family.
Mobile phone number missing?
At the end of September 2016, Mr. Yao saw on TV that the phone card needs to be registered under the real-name system, otherwise it will affect future use. TV also stressed the importance of telephone real-name registration to protect the rights and interests of users, build a trustworthy society, and combat illegal and criminal activities such as mobile phone crime and telecommunications fraud.
Mr. Yao actively responded to the national policy and went to the nearest China Mobile business hall to prepare for the real-name registration procedures for the mobile phone number with the tail number of 5 "8". However, when he arrived at the business hall, he received an unexpected message: "Hello, Mr. Yao, your mobile phone number has been cancelled now!" Real-name registration cannot be done for you. ”
When Mr. Yao heard the news, he was very confused. He quickly contacted his son through WeChat to ask if there was any operation to cancel the mobile phone number, but his son did not know anything, and said that the phone could not be dialed.
Mr. Yao believes that his son did not sell the number, because every month he would send money to his son, and his son would not lose this financial source by selling the number. So what's the problem?
Mr. Yao began to recall that the last time he recharged the number was in 2015
On June 19, I charged 50 yuan. After that, he didn't care about this number anymore, because during the summer vacation that year, his son did not return to China and did not use this number. As a result, Mr. Yao deduced that the problem might arise during this time period.
In order to find out the truth, he called China Mobile's customer service number several times, but received a similar reply: "The number was finally recharged 50 yuan by cash payment on June 19, 2015, and there is still a balance of 164.72 yuan, and the card shows that the validity period is December 31, 2015." The customer service also explained that since this is a China Bank zero monthly rental card, every 50 yuan recharged can extend the use period of 90 days, and after the number reaches the validity period, there is a 90-day retention period. Recharge during the retention period, you can resume the use of the number, but after the retention period, the number will be cancelled, and currently China Bank has not reopened business.
Mr. Yao objected to this: "I didn't receive a mobile SMS reminder before, otherwise I would definitely have recharged." I also did not sign in writing, and this mobile phone number was transferred to me by a friend. ”
However, the customer service did not solve the problem and instead suggested transferring the balance to another number for use. Mr. Yao believes that even if the number is cancelled, it is still empty and should not be put back on the market. He decided to open the number again, willing to pay extra. However, the customer service firmly refused his request.
All this made Mr. Yao feel very puzzled and angry. He began to wonder if someone inside China Mobile had taken a fancy to his number and took the opportunity to take it back.
Despite these suspicions, he is not willing to make things too big, he believes in the power of a society governed by the rule of law, and he is willing to resolve disputes through legal means. Therefore, he went to China Mobile Guangzhou several times, hoping that they would provide a clear explanation.
However, each time his reaction was to no avail. Faced with this situation, Mr. Yao had to turn to the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to complain. The complaint has aroused widespread concern, and many people have said that they have experienced similar problems, involving problems such as "60-day account cancellation", "high pre-deposit", and "guaranteed consumption". These disputes have not yet been reasonably resolved.
Beautiful number stolen?
Although Mr. Yao's number did not eventually re-enter the market, when he went to the China Mobile business hall again to open the business, he was told that he could not open the number. Mr. Yao was very angry, he firmly said: "I am not for the money, but because this number is a rite of passage gift for my son!" ”
The reason why Mr. Yao is so resolute is because he saw on the Internet that the cancelled mobile phone number was estimated at 484,300 yuan. He suspected that China Mobile insiders might be interested in his number, so he took it away when he wrote it off.
Although these are just Mr. Yao's guesses, he doesn't think the situation looks good. He hoped to solve the problem by communicating with China Mobile, but each time he ran into difficulties.
Regarding this issue, Xu Han, a lawyer at Guangdong Zhengda Law Firm, believes that the key lies in the agreement in the telecommunications service contract. If the contract stipulates a period of 3 months, then even through legal channels, Mr. Yao cannot get back the original number. Another lawyer argues that operators need to remind consumers of the expiration date when they buy a product, and they need to be reminded before downtime. If there is no reminder, the consumer can first handle the complaint, and if the processing is unsuccessful, it can be resolved through legal channels.
Network data also shows that a primary school student named Cai was forced to shut down by the operator in just one day after the arrears of payment, and was cancelled soon after. When he wanted to continue using the number, he was told that he needed to deposit 80,000 yuan in advance, with a monthly minimum consumption of 1,200 yuan, and a lifetime guarantee. His parents took the operator to court, but the case has not been properly resolved.
Protect your property
For Mr. Yao, the mobile phone number is not only a string of numbers, but also a symbol of feelings. Despite the price, he has always been convinced that the number was meant to contact family, not sell for money.
The problem of telecom fraud has become increasingly prominent in today's society. Criminals use various means to disguise themselves as relatives in order to defraud them of money. Therefore, real-name registration is very important to protect the rights and interests of users and prevent telecom fraud. However, cases like Yao's are also a reminder that telecom companies need to be more strict and transparent in implementing policies to protect the rights and interests of users.
In the era of big data, the security of personal information has become more and more important. Mobile phone numbers are closely linked to personal information, and we enjoy it
