BTRC suspends sales of old Grameenphone SIM card

After suspending new Grameenphone SIM card sales indefinitely, BTRC now says the telecom operator cannot sell old SIM cards either.

Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) Chairman Shyam Sunder Sikder made the announcement at a programme held at the BTRC building on Sunday, reports UNB. 

He said BTRC's approval a week ago to Grameenphone for selling 1.3 million old SIM cards has been suspended today.

On June 29, 2022, BTRC suspended the new Grameenphone SIM card sale indefinitely due to the operator’s “failure to provide quality service”.

BTRC imposed the indefinite suspension on Grameenphone as it is not providing quality service to its users despite repeatedly being asked to do so, Posts and Telecommunications Minister Mustafa Jabbar told UNB at the time.

“The telecom company has no intention to provide quality service, as it is not doing anything to fix the problems that its subscribers are facing,” he said.
