Biometric system has been introduced for mobile phone SIM card registration in Bangladesh. Launched on a trial basis from 15 November 2015, this system will be officially launched on 16 December 2015. In this method, in addition to the customer’s photo and national identity card information, fingerprints will be saved.

Bdnews24.com is one of the leading news outlets in the country ReportingFor all mobile SIM cards purchased before 2012, the connection has to be re-registered with fingerprint. In case of SIM cards purchased after 2012, those whose information is not given correctly or new customers also need to register (or re-register) the connection in biometric system.

I talked about this in Grameenphone’s customer care. A representative of the operator said that all the customers including those who have already sent an SMS to 1600 with the number, date of birth and name of the national identity card will have to register the SIM in biometric system.

The question that may arise in your mind is, Sending SMS to 1600 Why do you have to register again later? In fact, sending SMS was a part of the whole process of SIM registration, which was officially till November 15, 2015. Running. Now the next steps have to be completed.

Mobile operators will send SMS asking customers to register their SIMs in biometric (fingerprint) system. Those whose SIM card is not registered properly will have till mid-April 2018 to register SIM with biometric information on priority basis. Those whose SIMs are not registered properly will go to the customer care of the mobile operator company and if they do not register their SIMs with fingerprints, action will be taken against them. In this case unregistered SIMs will be kept off for a few hours at first. At one stage it will be rendered useless for a longer period of time if it is kept closed regularly. If you still do not register, the SIM will be blocked.
