About 3 million mobile SIM cards may be closed next November. Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has taken a new decision regarding SIM ban.

According to BTRC sources, any citizen of the country can buy 15 SIM cards with a national identity card. But many have also picked up 30 SIM cards with a national identity card. The number of these SIM cards is more than 3 million. These SIMs will be phased out.
