According to the results of 2023, about 4 thousand gray SIM cards were seized in Russia as a result of 811 joint events of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Roskomnadzor. This was told to Izvestia by the service. This figure was 18.5 times less compared to 2022, when 74 thousand SIM cards were found, the editorial staff calculated based on data previously published by the supervisory authority. However, such goods from all major mobile operators continue to remain on the market.

Thus, out of 4 thousand algeria whatsapp number database SIM cards seized in 2023, more than 800 belong to Beeline, over 1,200 to Megafon, more than 800 to MTS, more than 1,000 to Tele2, and more than 90 to other telecom operators, Roskomnadzor noted. They added that the largest number of gray SIM cards were seized in St. Petersburg (763 units), Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (715), and Krasnoyarsk Krai (642).

The agency issued 317 reports on administrative violations, and the total amount of fines amounted to 1.29 million rubles.

— In 2024, Roskomnadzor and the Ministry of Internal Affairs held 126 events to prevent the illegal distribution of SIM cards, seized 232 units, and drew up five protocols on administrative offenses. Based on the results of the events, the agency holds preventive meetings with telecom operators, — the federal service reported.

Izvestia sent a request to the Ministry of Digital Development with a request to assess the dynamics of violations. The editorial board also contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a question about what punitive measures will be taken against violators.

— Tele2 complies with all legal requirements for verifying the authenticity of personal data when concluding contracts. Partner organizations that enter into contracts for the provision of the operator's communications services are required to comply with the procedures established by the company for connecting clients. This procedure excludes the possibility of providing communications services to subscribers who have not provided reliable information about themselves, — the press service of the mobile operator reported.

They added that they work in close cooperation with Roskomnadzor and, in the event of the detection of the slightest violations, they apply civil liability measures, including fines and termination of contractual relations.

“It is precisely this work to whiten the mobile communications market that has led to the reduction in incidents of grey card sales,” the company explained.
