Recently, a video posted on the Internet by the Yi'an Public Security Police in Tongling, Anhui Province that "canceling a mobile phone number is equivalent to selling yourself" rushed to the hot search. In the video, the police said that after the cancelled mobile phone number is recycled and re-put into the market, the next person who uses the mobile phone number can use the mobile phone verification code to log in to the previous user's Alipay, WeChat and other Internet platform accounts, reminding everyone to unbind the relevant platform account before canceling the mobile phone number, and at the same time modify the mobile phone number reserved by the bank to protect personal information.
"What should I do if I am often harassed by my 'ex's various social messages and phone calls?" "I can't remember which Internet platforms and social platform accounts I have registered and handled, how to unbind them, and how to protect personal account information...... How should we protect personal information in the chain of cancellation, recycling, reactivation, and cancellation of mobile phone number recycling?
Number card users are embarrassed, netizens suggest
The video of "canceling a mobile phone number is equivalent to selling yourself" once again sparked a discussion on the security of personal information after unbinding and canceling a mobile phone number——
@二丫幸运值upup: My mobile phone number may be the mobile phone number that someone else has canceled, and there are always calls coming in from him.
@机智的程序猿: The terrible thing is that it is automatically cancelled, and the arrears will be cancelled in March, and the money has been forgotten to pay, not to mention the associated (accounts).
@随虽风: Canceling a mobile phone number should be the same as canceling an Internet account, when the user cancels, the operator should remind the number of which apps have been registered and associated with before, and unbind all of them before they can be canceled, so that it is good for both the person who cancels out or enables it for the second time.
Citizen Don Jr. has the same troubles.
He recently wanted to cancel a mobile phone card of his own, because the mobile phone number was specially set up for work when he was working at his previous company, and now he has resigned from his previous company, and his current job does not communicate much with his previous customers. When Xiao Tang was about to cancel the account, he saw that if the WeChat, Alipay and other accounts bound to the mobile phone number were not unbound when the mobile phone number was cancelled, there was likely to be a risk of personal information being stolen when the mobile phone number was circulated to the next user, which made Xiao Tang very embarrassed for a while. Xiao Tang feels that it is not meaningful to leave this mobile phone number, you have to pay the phone bill if you keep the mobile phone number, and if you don't pay the phone bill, the mobile phone will be automatically canceled after 3 months of arrears, and you don't remember which accounts this mobile phone number has been bound to, and the risk of automatic cancellation is greater.
There is no associated data link between the major Internet platforms and the operators
The reporter of Chuncheng Evening News-Kaiping News contacted China Telecom Yunnan Company, and the relevant person in charge replied that if the user no longer uses the mobile phone number under his name, he needs to go to the business hall, Yunnan Telecom WeChat public account or dial 10000 to go through the cancellation procedures in time.
According to the network access agreement signed between the telecom operator and the user at the time of network access, 90 days must pass after the cancellation of the mobile phone number before it can be put on the market for sale again. If you need to receive SMS verification codes, you need to bind another active mobile phone number. However, if the cancelled mobile phone number is not used by other users, the original owner can apply to the offline business hall of the telecom operator where the number belongs to apply for a new application in his own name.
Is canceling a mobile phone number really tantamount to betraying oneself? What can users do to better protect their personal information before canceling their mobile phone number? China Telecom Yunnan Company said that a mobile phone number card bound to a bank card, WeChat, Alipay, Douyin, and other mobile phone apps will not be able to receive verification codes from relevant platforms after the number is cancelled. If the number is re-released to the market after 90 days and used by other users, there may be a risk that the SMS verification code will be received by other users, resulting in the risk of personal information leakage. At present, the major Internet platforms and telecom operators do not have data association, which means that the data link between the operator and the major Internet platform accounts is not connected, and it is impossible to know which Internet platform accounts the mobile phone number card users have bound before cancellation, so it is impossible to provide the service of unbinding batch number cards.
If the user needs to cancel the mobile phone number, he or she needs to go to the Internet platform or social platform to cancel the original number binding relationship or call the customer service number of each platform to unbind and bind the new number. At the same time, the user needs to pay the arrears before canceling the mobile phone number. After canceling your mobile phone number, it is recommended that you notify your friends and relatives of the change of your number in time.
Please bookmark these unbinding paths
Some people are also worried that their newly activated mobile phone number has received phone calls and text messages harassment caused by the previous mobile phone number users who have not unbound or changed their mobile phone numbers. In this regard, China Telecom Yunnan Company said that if the mobile phone number used is identified as a harassing call, the user must go to the relevant platform that identifies the harassing call (such as: 360 Mobile Guard, Tencent Mobile Manager, Baidu Mobile Guard, etc.) to appeal and cancel the logo. If the user repeatedly receives harassing calls to the previous mobile phone number, he can explain to the other party that the owner has been changed, and China Telecom users can also open the eSurfing anti-harassment service for free to intercept.
The reporter visited the telecommunications business hall, the staff introduced, the number of users who cancel the mobile phone number is not very many, some of the number cards under the user name are not much, and they also want to keep the number card that has been used for many years, just want to change the communication service operator, the staff often recommend the "number portability" method, so that there is no need to cancel and change the mobile phone number. If the mobile phone number does not meet the conditions for number porting, you can also adjust the call fee package bound to the original mobile phone number to the minimum, because once you cancel it, you will not be able to receive the SMS verification code, which may cause some accounts that have been bound to the mobile phone number to be unusable.
Whether it is for personal information security considerations, or to avoid the use of personal accounts affected by the inability to receive SMS verification codes, etc., before canceling your mobile phone number, you should be familiar with the past binding business of your mobile phone number. Is there any channel to quickly inquire about the account number bound to the mobile phone number? The reporter saw a propaganda page in the business hall explaining the query method of "one card for the national Internet account number check", and the user can find the "one card check" by scanning the "Gongxin Weibao", "Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Anti-fraud Special Team", "China Academy of Information and Communications Technology" and "Alipay Mini Program" to check the number of Internet accounts associated with the mobile phone number under his name.
It can be seen in the guidelines for the use of the WeChat public account "Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Anti-Fraud Special Class" that the "one-card check" function launched by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has supported the query of 16 mainstream apps such as WeChat, QQ, Taobao, Alipay, Douyin, etc., covering four categories of high-frequency scenes of daily life such as social communication, shopping and travel, learning and office, leisure and entertainment, and a special entrance to unbind Internet accounts, which can provide "one-stop" query and unbinding services. After entering personal information, users can query the binding status of their Internet accounts, and can also click on the application icon to be unbound, and select "Query and Unbind" to directly jump to the corresponding App interface to unbind.
