The state minister for Post and Telecommunications, Tarana Halim has asserted that this registration process is only applicable for those mobile phone users whose registration is either absent or disputed. The properly registered users don't need to bother for re-registration.

The users can register or re-register their SIM by following a simple step. Firstly, go to the message option in your mobile phone then type the full National Id Card number, date of birth, full name and send it to 1600 number for authentication:

NID No<Space>DATE OF BIRTH <Space>NAME

If the details are OK then a confirmation message will be sent to the user. If the information is not in order then the user will be alerted with a return SMS.

The above method is applicable for GSM mobile operators, such as Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink, Teletalk, and Airtel. The Citycell users can register or re-register their SIM card in the a similar manner as the GSM users but with slight alteration.
