Mobile Service Providers in Karnataka have started disconnecting customers because of TRAI’s regulation on “Subscriber Identity Verification”. Few phones from in my address book are disconnected too. Jeez! they have been using the numbers for past 5-8 years and most have told me that the Telecom companies have misplaced their documents. The internal audit happened and the axe fell on these loyal customers.
Their are few others who are not permanent residents of Bangalore and had used their Passport to get connected but they have been disconnected now. Unlike the West [where we are always copying from], India is still in the 19th century to provide Identity to its citizens. Here is an explanation by TRAI. Good Grief!!!
the regulation is for the safety and security of our own country men..
