Maxis, CelcomDigi and U Mobile will stop offering services that conceal phone numbers in calls and SMS by the end of the month.
This is to comply with a notice issued by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) on May 9.
In the notice, the regulatory body reminded telcos to comply with Subsection 3.8.1.12 of the Numbering and Electronic Addressing Plan by ensuring all calls and SMS display the real phone number of the caller or sender.
