In instructions sent to mobile phone operators on Tuesday, the telecom regulator said they would disable any excess SIMs still active after the deadline, at their discretion. On Jun 20, 2016 the BTRC set a legal limit of 20 SIMs per user. According to the BTRC notice issued on Tuesday, it will be illegal for any user to have over 15 SIMs. All users with excess SIMs will have to contact their mobile operator’s customer care service and arrange for them to be disabled. The notice states that if any user has any excess SIMs after Dec 31, the matter will be discussed by the BTRC before it decides which shall be disabled.
