However, these two days
One released by the police of the Public Security Bureau of Tongling City, Anhui Province
The message "Canceling your phone number is tantamount to selling yourself".
It has aroused widespread concern
The police said that "canceling the mobile phone number may be tantamount to selling yourself", which attracted attention
Xu Guangyu, police officer of the Yi'an Branch of the Tongling City Public Security Bureau of Anhui Province: The security precaution video I posted a few days ago is that the people asked me for help at work, and the people used their mobile phone numbers to register accounts on a learning software for their children and bought courses, but then they were useless for a long time, and their mobile phone numbers were changed. I want to use this software again, but the previous mobile phone number has been used by a new user, and the verification code of the previous mobile phone number is required to log in to the learning software, so he asked me for help, can I help him call the new user to get a verification code.
Later, I checked with the relevant telecom operators and other authorities and confirmed that these risks did exist. If it is not unbound, the new user can log in to the account registered by the old user through the SMS verification code.
So I suggest that when you change your mobile phone number, unbind all the software bound to the old mobile phone number, replace it with a new mobile phone number binding, and then cancel the old number, so that there is no risk. In addition, the mobile phone number reserved by the bank card should also be replaced to avoid unnecessary losses.
How long will it take for a cancelled mobile phone number to be re-introduced to the market?
So how long will it take for the cancelled mobile phone number to be put back on the market, and can new users still check the previous usage records of the mobile phone number?
China Telecom and China Unicom customer service both said that after the user's mobile phone number is cancelled, there will be a 90-day freezing period, after which it will be re-put on the market, but the time of being put on the market cannot be determined. In addition, after the mobile phone number is reactivated, new users will not be able to query the payment details and other relevant usage records of the previous number owner of the number.
China Telecom's customer service staff also said that there is a possibility that the cancelled mobile phone number will be re-put into the market, so old users need to unbind the relevant software in advance and re-register with a new mobile phone number.
"One-card check", fast unbinding!
How can we know if our mobile phone number has been registered by someone else? How do we know how many Internet accounts are associated with our mobile phone number? What should we do if we find that someone else has registered an Internet account with our mobile phone number?
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology previously launched the "One Card Check 2.0" service, which can realize the "One Card Check Search" for Internet accounts across the country. Users can find the inquiry entrance through the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's government WeChat account "Gongxin Weibao", "Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Anti-fraud Special Team", "China Academy of Information and Communications Technology" WeChat public account, and Alipay's "One Card Inspection" applet.
Among them, the Internet account covers 16 platforms such as WeChat, Taobao, Alipay, etc., and the result will be sent by SMS within 48 hours after submitting the application.

There have been people who changed their mobile phone numbers, but the money in their online accounts was transferred by others, and some people changed their mobile phone numbers, resulting in the theft of social accounts, and scammers "borrowed" money everywhere in the circle of friends in the name of the original number owner......
