Roskomnadzor may block up to 7 million gray SIM cards in August

From the beginning of August, Roskomnadzor began to require telecom operators to block subscriber numbers with irrelevant personal data (PD). Interlocutors in two operators told Vedomosti about this. Within three days from the date of receipt of the list of numbers from the regulator, the company must notify the subscriber. He then has 15 days to update information about himself on the Gosuslug portal, through the operator’s application or in a communication salon. Otherwise, his number will be blocked in accordance with the provisions of the law “On Communications”.

Denis Kuskov, CEO of the Telecom Daily agency, also knows about mass notifications. According to him, operators “are now very actively sending notifications to subscribers about the need to confirm their passport data in order to avoid blocking.”
