Robi starts e-registration

Dhaka, Sept 6, 2018 (BSS) – Mobile phone operator Robi has started the
Electronic Telecom Subscriber Acquisition Form (ETSAF) based paperless e-
registration process from September 1 following the directive of telecom
regulator.

The registration process certainly marks yet another milestone in the
country’s journey towards implementing the Digital Bangladesh vision, said a
press release today.

Robi welcomed the great initiative taken by the government while many
countries around the world are still contemplating on how to use digital ID
for citizens to establish their relationship with the administration
mechanism, but Bangladesh with the successful implementation of the paperless
e-registration process has taken a commendable lead in this regard.

Robi feels the new process has been streamlined with the touch of
digitalization. “Initially, our subscribers will enjoy the benefits of the
new process while purchasing new SIM and for replacing their existing SIM.
Other services like change of SIM ownership, mobile number portability will
be done through e-registration process gradually,” it added.

Customers will be required to provide four basic information: NID
number, full name, present address, date of birth, and biometric finger print
to complete the e-registration process. The new process does not require the
customers to submit photocopy of NID and photographs like before.
