TELECOM OPERATORS HAVE LAUNCHED A MECHANISM TO ENSURE SECURITY AND TO PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST HOSTILE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES
SIM cards with mobile internet may be installed inside enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and used for their navigation. Therefore, when a SIM card enters the territory of the Russian Federation from abroad, it is necessary to confirm that it is being used by a person, and is not embedded in a drone. Mobile internet and SMS services on such SIM card will be temporarily blocked until this confirmation is provided.
For subscribers using Russian SIM cards, a 24-hour cooling-off period applies if the SIM card has remained inactive for 72 hours or if it is back after international roaming.
Subscribers will receive an SMS notification from their mobile operator informing them that the SIM card has been temporarily blocked. The message will include instructions on how to lift the restrictions. This can be done at any time by opening the link provided by the operator and completing a CAPTCHA verification. Once verified, access to mobile internet and SMS services will be restored.
Restrictions may also be lifted via the operator’s call centre, after the subscriber successfully completes identity verification by phone.
