00:00Recently, there was a news related to the charge for using a mobile number.
00:06After this news came out, mobile users across the country were shocked.
00:10In the report, it was said that Tri has put a new proposal
00:14due to which telecom users may have to pay extra money.
00:18In this, it was said that Tri wants a separate charge to use a phone or landline number,
00:23which can be collected from the telecom operators and then the user.
00:28In addition, it was also said in the report that those who have multiple SIMs,
00:32that is, those who have two SIMs in the same phone but use the same SIM,
00:37in this case, extra charge will be collected from the customer.
00:41But now the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has released its statement on all these news
00:47and has clarified that it has no plan to collect more than one SIM charge from the mobile user.
00:53Tri said that the SIM card is a limited government property that should be used properly.
00:58For this, Tri is reviewing the mobile number system while keeping in mind the new rules of the telecom sector.
01:05But Tri has clearly said that the mobile number will not be charged from its side.
01:10Although Tri admitted that there is a shortage of mobile numbers in today's time.
01:14By 2024, there have been more than 1.19 billion telecom connections in India.
01:20In addition, the demand for mobile numbers is also increasing.
01:23And this is the reason that a proposal has been given by Tri for a new numbering series
01:27through which the mobile numbering system can be improved.
01:31Tri is also working on a plan for the use of unused SIMs.
01:36For example, if you have issued two or more SIMs and you are not using that SIM for a long time,
01:43then there is a plan to blacklist such SIMs so that that SIM number can be allotted to another person.
01:50According to Tri's data, the number of inactive SIMs in India is quite high.
01:55At present, more than 219.14 million mobile numbers are in inactive mode,
02:00which is increasing the pressure on the government to reduce the mobile number system.
02:04This is about 19% of the total mobile numbers.
02:08But the good news for you is that the claim that if you have more than two SIMs,
02:15then you will have to pay a charge, is not true.
02:18There is no basis for these claims.
02:20Nothing like this has been said by Tri.
02:23But before going, let me tell you that there are many countries in the world
02:27where you have to pay a separate charge for a phone number.
02:30In some countries, this charge is given to telecom companies, while in many countries it is given to customers.
02:35The right to use a SIM card is up to the licensed validity of the telecom company.
02:40Like if we talk about countries in this list,
02:43then Denmark, Australia, Singapore, Belgium, Greece, Finland, Kuwait, Lithuania, Hong Kong, Poland, Nigeria, Switzerland, etc.
02:51In countries, the phone number is charged.
02:53So well, this is good news for you.
02:55If you have more than one SIM and you are not using it,
02:59then you should pay attention to it in such a way that you yourself close that number or the company blacklists that number
03:05so that it can be allotted to others.
03:08But you will not have to pay any extra charge.
