Time is running out for mobile phone subscribers to register unregistered lines after the country's telecoms regulator issued an ultimatum to be complied with by month end.
Zimbabwe's second largest mobile phone operator, Telecel - yesterday urged its subscribers to register mobile phone lines before the telecoms regulator switches off illegal lines.
Early this month the Post and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe ordered mobile phone operators to switch off all unregistered lines amid concerns that subscribers are engaging in criminal activities using the lines.
Mobile phone users are expected to register the lines by Saturday.
The development comes at a time when the market is flooded with activated lines from the country's three mobile operators - Econet, Telecel and Net*One.
