BANGKOK, 21 August 2014 – The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has advised that 100,000 phone numbers have already been registered via the “2 Shots” app, and that it would soon offer the service at convenience stores. 

Ms. Chitsata Sriprasertsuk, the Director of the Numbering Management Group, National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), revealed that as of now the registration of prepaid mobile phone SIM cards via the “2 Shots” app had reached about 100,000 phone numbers and was increasing.

The NBTC is also to offer the service at 7,700 7-11 convenience stores nationwide, so people buying mobile phone SIM cards, can immediately register them. The service should be available in October. Offering the same service at Big C and Lotus department stores and 1,200 branches of Krung Thai Bank nationwide should begin later this year. The next step for NBTC is to develop a SIM card registration service via a national ID card reader, which could immediately connect to registered user information.

NBTC has also organized the “2 Shots” campaign in provincial areas to educate people about the importance of mobile phone SIM card registration, and how easy and secure it is to do via the app.
