Recently, the topic of "canceling a mobile phone number is equivalent to selling yourself" has sparked heated discussions, and netizens have expressed their doubts about changing and canceling their mobile phone numbers. So, what should we pay attention to when encountering this situation?
This topic originated from a security video released by the police of the Tongling Public Security Bureau in Anhui Province. It is mentioned in the video that after the mobile phone number is cancelled, the operator will put it back on the market. If you do not unbind Alipay, WeChat and other software, new users can log in to the accounts registered by old users through SMS verification codes, which poses a great security risk.
After the mobile phone number is cancelled
It will be "re-released" by the operator
How long will it take for a cancelled mobile phone number to be put back on the market? Can new users still be able to check the previous usage records of the mobile phone number? The reporter called the customer service numbers of China Telecom and China Unicom as a consumer.
In this regard, 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. Therefore, old users need to unbind the relevant software in advance and re-register with a new mobile phone number.
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.
After the old user deactivates or abandons the mobile phone number, the number is withdrawn by the operator, and it is vacant for a period of time and put it on the market again for new users to choose, which is the "second number".
According to reports, the "secondary number" can recycle the number of resources, is a necessary means to effectively revitalize idle communication resources, and is also an international common method. Domestic mobile phone numbers are mainly 11 digits, and with the surge of users, there are no new numbers available in some number segments, which is also an important reason for operators to recycle numbers and release them again.
How to check your mobile phone number
How many internet accounts are linked?
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 query entrance through WeChat public accounts such as "Industry and Information Technology WeChat", "Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Anti-fraud Special Class", "China Academy of Information and Communications Technology", as well as Alipay's "One Card Inspection" applet, etc., and fill in the mobile phone number, the last six digits of the ID card number and the verification code, and then you can query. The query result will be replied within 48 hours through the unified SMS portal.
If the number of Internet accounts associated with your mobile phone number is inconsistent with the information you have in your possession, you can click "Unbind and Query Details" at the bottom of the query page. If you have any objections to the query results, you can call the company's customer service number for consultation.
At present, the "One Permit Check" can query the registration status of 16 Internet application accounts. If you still have an Internet application that you want to query, you can click the pop-up window "I still want to check" on the query page, check or fill in the Internet enterprise or application you want to query, and you can feedback the demand after submitting.
