Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Manx and Digital Whale for their clue delivery! CTOnews.com Sept. 16, according to a report by thepaper.cn today, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently responded to netizens' message that "We hope to change the business of the phone number in other provinces as soon as possible."

The netizen's message mentioned that at present, there are a large number of floating population across the country, and the phone numbers are real-name system, binding more bank cards or mainstream App. After changing the number, it will cause a series of problems, and at the same time, it will increase the workload for various departments.

The reply from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is as follows:

The mobile phone number attribution is based on the concept of network technology based on the home location register, and its change is closely related to the network architecture and facilities. at present, our country does not have the conditions to realize the mobile communication number attribution change at the network level. you can check the analysis on the official website of our department.

With regard to the cross-prefectural and municipal change services provided by some basic telecommunications enterprises, the charges and services of users are adjusted based on their business support system, and the change at the network level of the mobile phone number is not realized.

However, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also said that in the future, it will continue to track the development trend of network technology, take users' demand for the change of mobile phone number attribution as a factor to be considered in the "future evolution of network architecture", and strengthen communication and coordination with public security and other departments to promote the gradual realization of the goal of mobile communication number attribution change when conditions are available.

Tu Yuan PexelsCTOnews.com learned by consulting the relevant pages of the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had publicly responded to similar proposals in August 2018. At that time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that changing the location of mobile phone numbers would have the following effects:

The existing network facilities need to be adjusted on a large scale: changing the attribution place of mobile communication numbers at the network level means breaking the existing mobile network construction and maintenance mode of distinguishing the local network according to the ten thousand segments of the subscriber number. it will have a great impact on the stability of network operation.

It has a significant impact on the mobile terminal home display function: if the mobile phone number is changed across provinces, the terminal application function of determining the number attribution based on the number segment characteristics will not be used, instead, the latest number attribution of a single mobile phone number must be displayed after inquiry. In addition, when each call is set up, it is necessary to query the location of the number in real time, which will be restricted by factors such as unsupported equipment, huge database, large amount of traffic, power consumption and network signals.

Affect users' cognition and increase the risk of telecom fraud: after changing the attribution of mobile phone numbers across provinces, especially the fixed telephone equipment does not have the function of displaying the attribution of incoming calls, telephone users will not be able to judge the attribution of mobile phone numbers by the characteristics of the number segment, so it is difficult to judge the attribution of the other party, increasing the difficulty of cracking down on network crimes such as telecom fraud.
