Well, if that's true, then the telcos are violating the law BUT they claim these rogue SIMs don't "appear" in their database, so their excuse is they couldn't do anything about it? How absurd!
@gowin My colleague shared when he requested to have his SIM card upgraded to 5G, he was told that they can't do it because his number is old, from the 1st/2nd gen era, and can't be transferred to their 5G database. They tried to convince him to give it to them. LOL.
@youronlyone@c.im @rom @youronlyone@firefish.social wouldn't that be a violation of the numbers portability law?
Not sure. If the reason is technical, and they truly cannot do anything with 1st and 2nd gen numbers, maybe they can get away with it? Especially considering people doesn't want to return those numbers to them after they explained the situation.
