Supertel deactivates mobile phones reported as stolen
Posted On 07 Aug 2013
The Superintendence of Telecommunications (Supertel) permanently shut down 165,000 mobile phones that had been reported stolen.
According to Supertel, around 2.5 million of mobile devices irregularly registered were detected and subsequently issued a santion card for the three mobile phone companies operating in the country.
In addition, the regulatory agency reported that only 38% of mobile devices on a national scale are legally able to work.
The Supertel began a campaign in early 2013 to fight cell theft in Ecuador.
