Overview
- If subscribers do not cancel surplus contracts, operators must terminate service across all numbers registered to that person, including corporate lines.
- Carriers are required from Nov. 1 to shut off any number with unconfirmed subscriber data.
- Initial compliance checks will prioritize contracts signed before April 1, 2025, when sales to customers already holding 20 numbers were first barred.
- SIM cards used in cars, home appliances, and other connected devices count toward the 20-line cap, experts noted.
- Users can review and cancel unused lines via the Gosuslugi SIM-cards service or with their operator, and disconnections may take several days to complete.
