There is good reason for the strengthening of regulations by government authorities. Mobile phones are the primary communication tool for most of Africa’s 1.3 billion citizens. Ensuring that governments can identify mobile numbers and find the owner of a specific number – for example, as part of investigations by the local authorities – is an important aspect of national security.
Experienced service providers in the telco ecosystem are introducing novel solutions to reduce the regulatory load on mobile operators and ensure customers can enjoy the full benefits of telco service innovation. Leveraging new SIM registration apps, customers can now simply download the app, create an account, complete a brief verification process that goes through a back-end integration with government services, and once confirmed, enjoy their mobile access without the fear of incurring penalties.
