Not long ago, just the first day after I got the unit to use my mobile phone number for unified work, Ms. Wang from Jiangsu encountered trouble. After turning on the phone, this "new" mobile phone number actually received various debt collection calls.
After some understanding, Ms. Wang realized that this mobile phone number was a "secondary number", which is the number that was used before.
The original owner of this number abandoned the number only after owing debts. Therefore, after this mobile phone number was recycled by the telecommunications company and put on the market again, it was only in the hands of Ms. Wang.
What is "secondary number release"?
It is understood that when a user deactivates or deprecates his mobile phone number, the number is reclaimed by the operator and left vacant for a period of time and puts it on the market again. This practice for new users to choose is called "secondary number release".
According to industry experts, code number resources are the same as network IP addresses, and are scarce resources. The occupied code number resources can be released through "secondary number release", which is conducive to revitalizing idle communication resources. This practice is also a common practice in the communications industry internationally.
According to relevant reports, although the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has allocated 5.013 billion number resources for the public's mobile communication services, there are not so many numbers that can be used.
In order to face the increasing number of mobile terminals and various communication needs, it has to re-enable those occupied and idle code numbers. And this is the reason why there are more and more "secondary numbers".
learned from the operator insider that in order to improve the utilization rate of mobile phone numbers in a limited resource pool, in accordance with relevant specifications, operators will generally recycle mobile phone numbers that users have actively cancelled, as well as mobile phone numbers that have not been suspended for more than 3 months and are left vacant for a period of time.
"Story" Who is the "secondary account" that has "stories"
However, due to various reasons, these "secondary old accounts" are indeed likely to bring a lot of trouble to "new" users.
received harassing text messages and harassing calls as soon as it was enabled was just a small worry. The bigger problem is that these "second-time old accounts" have been registered with multiple online platforms by their "ex-timers", which will lead to "new" users being unable to register and cannot enjoy multiple online services.
, even, because these "secondary old accounts" were abandoned by their "ex-individuals" because they had fleece the "wool" of online lending companies, resulting in the "secondary accounts" being "taken the blame"...
So, because this type of "secondary accounts" with "stories" has brought troubles and troubles to "new" users, should the operator take the blame?
In today's mobile Internet era, mobile phone numbers are no longer limited to the original communication functions. In many cases, mobile phone numbers have actually become tools for identity identification, and are more like another form of identity card.
Especially at the moment when "eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and driving the world with one mobile phone", many online platforms require users to provide mobile phone numbers for authentication. As a result, the mobile phone number itself has actually become the user's identity and is also bound to the user's various behaviors.
In reality, although the mobile phone number under the real name system is basically corresponding to the user. However, users can change or even deprecate their mobile phone numbers, but the mobile phone number itself will not change.
Especially after the mobile phone number is transferred and the "secondary number is released", in fact, the mobile phone number and the original user no longer correspond. This causes dislocation between mobile phone numbers and users.
. Such similar situations actually have similar stories on social platforms such as QQ numbers and WeChat accounts.
When a mobile phone number may correspond to different users in different periods, the existing technology and various cross-platform and cross-industry restrictions make such misalignment corrections not yet timely, fast and intelligent.
At least, after the user deactivates or deprecates his or her mobile phone number, those third-party platforms associated with it will not be automatically logged out.
Therefore, judging from some current "secondary" stories, there are also problems with this kind of identity verification method that will be misaligned between mobile phone numbers and users.
For operators, in accordance with various regulations and specifications, they can re-enable those numbers that have been idle for a long time and have not been used by anyone. This is nothing wrong in itself.
As for what the predecessors of these "secondary numbers" bound and registered with these numbers, the operator actually has no way to intervene. After all, this belongs to the user's privacy.
But the various "labels" and "certifications" given to the "secondary number" by the predecessors who cleared the "secondary number" will involve various cross-platform and cross-industry factors, which obviously exceeds the capabilities of the operators, and it is impossible to do so by the operators themselves.
For those third-party Internet platforms and merchants, as long as users do not actively log out and unbind, they will definitely not actively remind users. After all, the number of registered users can be related to the platform's influence and financing capabilities.
Therefore, these "secondary accounts" users who "accidentally" use "stories" are troubled.
"Stories" How to manage "secondary number" with "stories"
Regarding the reuse of these "stories" "secondary number", in fact, the editor thinks that first of all, the competent departments of the relevant industry should coordinate information exchange and account management between operators and various Internet platforms from the perspective of top-level design, and explore ways to revitalize and manage the use of "secondary number" more scientifically and properly.
Secondly, operators should improve the service system for resale of "secondary accounts". At least, new users should be clearly informed whether the selected number is a "secondary number", so as to protect the user's right to know and right to choose.
. Third, for Internet platforms, you must learn to cut off the interests and squeeze out the moisture in the number of registered users. You should also formulate some management rules similar to the use of "dormant accounts" to regulate it.
At the same time, we should also carry out extensive cooperation with operators to explore ways to manage accounts that have been registered with mobile phone numbers and have not been idle for a long time, and to conduct freezing and ID card identification. Avoid embarrassment and troubles when bringing codes, numbers, and people to users after misalignment.
It is worth mentioning that with the rapid development of mobile Internet in the future and the increase in "secondary numbers", the gradual change of the identity verification mechanism based on mobile numbers will allow network identity verification to return to the identification of "people", which may also be a suitable solution.
However, at least at present, the question of how to use the "secondary number" more scientifically and effectively is a question that needs to be answered by relevant industry authorities, operators and Internet platform companies.
If you only throw the "burden" and "burden" on the operator, it will obviously not solve the problem, and it will be unfair. Finally, it is the users who are troubled by all kinds of embarrassment and trouble.
