The Ministry of Information and Communications will cooperate with the Ministry of Public Security to verify the personal information of pre-paid mobile subscribers in big cities.

The Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) will cooperate with the Ministry of Public Security to verify the personal information of pre-paid mobile subscribers in big cities, confirmed Deputy Minister Le Nam Thang.

According to MoIC statistics, 100 percent of pre-paid mobile subscribers have registered their personal information with operators, but Deputy Minister Thang claimed accuracy is a big problem.

MoIC will work with the Public Security Ministry this week to seek measures for controlling information of pre-paid mobile subscribers in Hanoi, HCM City and Da Nang, because these cities account for over 50 percent of total subscribers.

MoIC and local Departments of Information and Communications will tighten management and punishment over violators.

“We will have measures to define the accuracy of information and to manage pre-paid mobile subscribers,” confirmed Telecommunications Department Chief Pham Hong Hai.
