The owner of the original mobile phone number has died, how to handle the transfer?

Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Yongkang, said that he went to the mobile business hall with an inheritance certificate and successfully registered the name change of his mobile phone number.

It is understood that the two mobile phone numbers that Mr. Zhang and his wife have been using are registered in the name of their wives, but their wives have passed away this year. Mr. Zhang went to the mobile business hall to register his mobile phone number and changed his name, which was rejected by the staff. He asked to go to the notary office to inherit the mobile phone number before going through the registration formalities.

This is the first time that Yongkang Notary Office has taken over the inheritance of mobile phone numbers in recent years. The staff immediately consulted relevant information and consulted professionals.

"The mobile phone number can be inherited by the owner after his death." The staff of Yongkang Notary Office said that at present, there is no law directly stipulating whether the mobile phone number can be inherited as an inheritance, and there is no telecommunications regulation. However, according to the relevant provisions of the property law, the number can be used as the movable property of all people, and since it is personal property, it can be inherited.

However, according to Article 3 of the Measures for the Management of Code Number Resources in Telecommunication Network, the ownership of the number belongs to the state, so the successor only inherits the right to use the number.

After examining the identity information provided by Mr. Zhang, the proof of kinship and the proof of ownership of the mobile phone number issued by the mobile company, the notary office took the phone number as the personal legacy of Mr. Zhang's wife, handled the inheritance procedures of the right to use the mobile phone number, and asked Mr. Zhang to get the notarial certificate as soon as possible.

Matters needing attention when transferring:

1. If the original owner entrusts the bank to withhold the phone bill, but the new owner does not entrust the same bank account to withhold it, the original owner must cancel the entrusted withholding business in the corresponding bank before handling the transfer.

2. If the customer is bound to the 96669 UnionPay card, before going to the business hall for transfer, the customer needs to cancel the UnionPay card bound to his mobile phone number before handling it.

Third, after the transfer, old customers will not be able to query the original bill and detailed bill.
