In Mincifra reported about the appearance on "Gosusluga" service to check SIM-cards

A special service will appear on the portal "Gosuservices", which will make it possible to check all SIM-cards issued to a person. This was announced by Maksut Shadaev, the head of the Ministry of Digitization of the Russian Federation, at the forum "Cybersecurity in Finance" on February 19.

"On April 1, we will launch the service on "Gosusluga". Every citizen will be able to see all the contracts drawn up for him," TASS quoted him as saying.

According to Shadaev, it is possible that some Russians have contracts that they do not know about because they were drawn up by malicious people. Thus, the new service will allow Russians to check whether their data was used by fraudsters for the purpose of SIM card registration.

Disconnect from the rules: Russians will be able to set a ban on buying SIM cards without their presence

Will the impossibility of contracting by intermediaries stop fraudsters and how did the industry feel about the initiative?

On February 15, the Russian government submitted to the State Duma a bill to protect Russians from phone and Internet fraudsters. It envisages the introduction of mandatory labeling of calls so that people understand who is trying to contact them. Also, Russians will be able to refuse advertising calls and spam mailings and prohibit incoming international calls.
