If you want to get a new cell phone number, don’t forget to bring your ID(身份證明) with you .
As of September 1, people have to register(注冊) with their ID to buy a new cell phone number. You can show your ID card or hukou, but student ID’s won’t work.
If you already have a cell phone number, it is better to register it before 2013.
The new rules are meant to prevent junk messages and fraud(詐騙) through cell phones.
A cell phone user in China on average received 43.3 messages a week in the first half of this year. According to reports, about 12 of those were junk messages.
In a survey, about 74.5 percent of users said they have received fraudulent(詐騙的) messages.
If all people register their cell phone number with ID information, it will be easier for police to find the people behind those messages.
Situations in other countries
Because cell phone are getting more and more popular, many countries have made stricter cell phone rules.
Countries like India, Japan, Australia, and Singapore all ask users to register their ID information.
Ulrich Mller is a German living in Beijing. “In Germany, you have to show your ID when you buy a cell phone card,” he said. “The rules have been there for a long time. Most people know about it.”
Linda van der Horst is a student at Peking University. She said that in the Netherlands(荷蘭)，people have to show ID information and bank account(賬戶) information to buy a cell phone card.
