Teletalk subscribers can complete their biometric SIM registration/ re-registration using Robi’s devices from today, 09 April, 2016 (Saturday).
Robi’s Managing Director & CEO, Supun Weerasinghe and Teletalk’s Managing Director, Gias
Uddin Ahmed have signed an agreement recently at the Posts and Telecommunications Division in this regard.
As part of the ongoing biometric Bio-metric based new registration and re-registration of SIM, Robi has taken adequate measures to ensure that Robi subscribers have convenient access to the process by deploying Bio-metric verification devices at key retailer locations across the country. The wide device coverage and capacity of Robi in this connection has provided a unique proposition for Robi and Teletalk to work together to drive the strategic objective of the Government of Bangladesh and make this initiative a success.
