Seven mobile operators in Vietnam have over 80 million subscribers as of November 2009, but half of the numbers are being used by three million people.

This figure was disclosed by mobile operators in a meeting with the Ministry of Information and Communications last week.
According to mobile networks, up to 40 million sim cards are registered under the names of 3 million people. Most of the sim cards have been activated and sold at mobile agents.
By the end of December 2009, all pre-paid mobile subscribers will have to declare their personal information. Each of them will be allowed to use up to three sim cards from each mobile network.
The Ministry of Information and Communications seeks to halt services for subscribers who don’t declare their personal information. Also, the millions of mobile numbers held by these 3 million people will be deactivated.
Deputy Minister Le Nam Thang asked mobile operators to remind their subscribers to register their phone numbers before the deadline.
