Mobile phone operators have not had access to fixed-line phones of Tajik Telecom (Tajikistan's fixed-line telecommunications network) for already three days.
Mobile phone operators say the access to the fixed-line phones has been cut off not for their fault. Meanwhile, the communications service agency advises the mobile phone operators to inform their subscribers about technical problems opportunely.
Subscribers to the mobile phone companies complain that they were not informed about technical problems opportunely.
The Communications Service under the Government of Tajikistan has cited technical reasons for temporarily disconnecting mobile phone operators’ access to the fixed-line telecommunications network.
“The access to the fixed-line phones has been temporarily switched off because the Communications Service is currently creating a single database of mobile phone subscribers,” an official source at the communications service agency told Asia-Plus in an interview.
According to him, the single base of mobile phone subscribers is being created within the framework of government’s decree of 2016 “on rules and requirements for connecting to the electrical communication network.”
“After reregistration of SIM cards the next step, under the government’s decree, is creation of a single database of phone numbers,” the source said.
