The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has decided to reduce the maximum number of SIM cards a person can own to 10.
Previously, an individual could register up to 15 SIM cards across all mobile operators using their National Identity Card (NID). Under the new regulation, the limit has been brought down to 10.
According to BTRC sources, a press conference will be held soon to formally announce the decision.
To curb criminal activities, the BTRC introduced SIM registration using NID in 2015. In 2017, the maximum limit was set at 15 SIM cards per user.
