Taking Matters into Your Own Hands: The New Self-Ban System for Mobile Communication
Here's some exciting news for you, my friend. From now on, you've got the power to put a stop to unwanted mobile communication service contracts. Yes, you read that right! The Russian government has introduced a new self-ban system that allows you to block the issuance of new SIM cards under your name, putting an end to cyber-shenanigans by fraudsters.
Sim-plicity is Key
You won't have to worry about tracking down every operator to find out if some sneaky fraudster has registered "gray" SIM cards in your name. With the new self-ban system, you can easily check all your SIM cards through the Gosuslugi portal. If you find any unauthorized numbers, you can take care of them right away. And, if spring 2026 plans pan out, you'll even be able to set a self-lock remotely on the portal.
Spreading the Word
April 1 saw the enforcement of amendments to the law on communications. From now on, telecom operators will only be allowed to issue up to 20 SIM cards to one Russian citizen and 10 to a foreigner. If you happen to have extra SIM cards you no longer need, Russians have until November 1, and the rest have until July 1 to get rid of the excess. The goal here is to combat mass fraudulent calls.
So, there you have it! With this new self-ban system, you're more in control of your mobile communication security than ever before.
