A friend just called me to lament that an unknown person has been using his bank account to recharge his/her mobile phone. I thought it is impossible until someone else confirmed the same. How did it happen? His former phone number with which he opened his account had been reassigned to another subsciber. In a normal society(unlike ours), I don't think it is right. These SIMs had already been paid for,the number(whether active or otherwise) should still belong to the buyer. It is like a bank reassigning a customer's account number to another person because your account is dormant. On many occasions have had to call an old friend on their usual lines only to be told by a character that I have called a wrong number-quite embarrassing! Though I'm still waiting to see how my friend's scenario will be resolved...

Good topic, my mtn line was reassigned to someone after some months of inactivity, I wish the NCC can address this issue asap.

It's serious.
