2 Effective Ways to Avoid Recycling Cell Phone Numbers

In the all-digital era, mobile phone numbers are an important key to all digital transactions, be it for online shopping, money transfers, bill payments, and self-verification for financial matters related to banking. Therefore, the confidentiality and security of mobile phone numbers is important to always be maintained, especially from the risk of mobile phone numbers being recycled.

This risk can occur if the mobile phone number is not used for a long time and there is no activity on the number. A recycled mobile phone number is a number that has previously been used by someone else and then reactivated for sale by mobile operators.

Using a recycled cell phone number for mobile banking can pose a dangerous risk to your financial security.

For this reason, if at any time it is recycled or there is a replacement of a new mobile phone number, then the number that was previously registered and connected to BCA e-Banking and your credit card must be deleted or replaced

1. Do activities on your mobile phone number

Top up your credit periodically, use an internet package or other things that make your mobile number always active.

2. Update your mobile phone number data

If the mobile phone number is no longer used, is recycled or replaced, immediately update the data by replacing the number registered on mobile banking or other important applications.
