Azerbaijan Internet Forum suggests fighting mobile phone theft

The forum concerns about the fast increase of mobile phone users and suggests solution to the problem.

"It is necessary for service providing operators to add a stolen phone to a blacklist, making it no longer able to access the service provider”s network, the mobile operators and police should create a joint stolen handset stocks and amend the law to have the stolen phones found," the forum told APA-Economics.

The proposals offer to improve customer application process, transparency and receipt of appeals from cell-phone users, to create an online data system in order to enable buyers to check whether the secondhand phone is a-before-stolen one or not.

The forum says that Mobile Services Regulations should be drafted in order to build civil and effective customer-operator-government relations in line with Telecommunication Law, Information Obtaining Law and Consumer Rights Protection Law.
