The NBTC is aware of the importance of creating a tool for people to check your cell phone number and protect yourself from cellphone use. It has developed a 3-tiered "Lock Alert" application that can "check" how many cell phone numbers are registered. "Notify" a missing number and a "lock" number to prevent others. Take your ID card to impersonate a new SIM card. And can be "unlocked" from the application layer 3 yourself.
