Egypt to Suspend Imports of Phones with Unpaid Fees Starting April 7: NTRA
New Deadline Announced for Mobile Device Fees
Cairo, Egypt – The National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) has announced a strict deadline for mobile phone imports with unpaid fees, with enforcement beginning April 7, 2024.
Key Details of the New Regulation
In an official statement released on Sunday, the NTRA confirmed it will suspend service for any imported mobile devices that haven’t paid required fees. This action will affect all mobile networks operating in Egypt.
The regulatory body emphasized the importance of compliance, stating: “We urge all users to promptly pay their mobile phone fees before the specified deadline to avoid service interruption.”
How Users Can Comply
Egyptian mobile users can:
- Check their device payment status
- Make necessary payments before April 7 deadline
- Use the official “Telephony” app to monitor their compliance status
The NTRA’s move follows earlier announcements about planned restrictions on non-compliant devices, signaling the government’s commitment to enforcing telecom regulations.
