Newly established mobile phone numbers continue to receive debt collection calls, and when registering apps such as WeChat, Alipay, Taobao, and Weibo, they frequently show that the number is occupied. Nowadays, the mobile phone number is like a network pass. If you cannot complete the binding of the App, you cannot use all its functions.
Nowadays, mobile phone number resources have become increasingly scarce, and "second number allocation" is an international practice. The so-called "secondary allocation" means that after the old users deactivate or abandon their mobile phone numbers, the numbers are taken back by the operator and placed on the market again after a period of time vacant for new users to choose. The recycling of code number resources is beneficial to revitalizing communication resources, but it brings new problems to some new users. How to solve them?
With the development of the mobile Internet, the function of the mobile phone number is not only a communication tool, from social software to payment accounts, from news and information to transportation, to use App, almost all need to complete the binding through the mobile phone number. But the code number resource, like the network IP address, is a scarce resource in theory. Domestic mobile phone numbers are mainly 11 digits. With the rapid increase of users, there are now no new numbers available in some number segments. This is an important reason why operators want to recycle numbers and release them again.
At present, all operators have clear time requirements for the mobile phone number from being recovered to resale. Generally, there will be a period of retention first, that is, the number still belongs to the original user. However, the related communication services have been stopped. If the arrears continue, the number will enter the freezing period from the retention period, that is, the number belongs to the operator but will not be put on the market immediately. This design also hopes to help cut off the number between the number and the original user relationship.
Telecom expert Ligang Xiang: To avoid the emergence of second-hand codes, one is that the government will open more number resources; the other is to extend the time limit for withdrawal; the third is that telecom operators provide related services to help users resolve bundled numbers such as Alipay. There is another situation here. After some people use this number, they don't pay or cancel it. They don't have to go to the business hall to handle it. The operator has no good way.
Ligang Xiang told the Central Broadcasting Corporation reporter that the number was recycled but encountered new problems. The essential contradiction is that it seems that many code resources are not enough. There are now 1.6 billion numbers in use. With the advent of the Internet of Things in the 5G era, code number resources are about to become more scarce and mobile phone numbers may rise from 11 to more in the future.
Telecom expert Ligang Xiang: We usually use the 135/139/186 number, which uses different numbers to do different things. There is no doubt that the resources are limited. Later, there will be greater demand for industrial 5G. Now we in China It is about 1.6 billion devices that are connected. By 2030, the number of connections will be 10 billion, and these connections require code resources. Now they have all risen to 11 positions. In the future, the entire code number resource management and billing system will all be upgraded.
It is reported that, at present, industry authorities and communication companies have begun to establish a data exchange platform to coordinate information exchange and account management between operators and Internet companies. For example, the code number service platform established by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology under the guidance of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the "second number query service" system launched by China Mobile, and the second number payment unbinding platform established by some commercial organizations.
However, some industry experts pointed out that which applications are bound to the user's mobile phone number, and the usage habits such as the time and frequency of login involve personal privacy. When breaking information barriers and establishing a shared account data platform, how to properly manage these account data is also an institutional gap waiting to be filled.
