  James pulled up the taformation for the seller. "Let's see if we track this guy," he said, studying the phone number. "You need an NID to buy a SIM card, right? So, we should be able to trace the owner."

  Regur mobile numbers in Bangdesh are issued by tele pao obtain a regur mobile number, individuals must provide their National Identification Number (NID) fistration. This requirement ehat the ownership of the number be traced back to the individual. The process helps in maintaining atability and security, as the tele panies verify the identity of the users. This trag meism is crucial for various purposes, including legal, security, and emergency situations, ensuring that mobile phone usage in Bangdesh is reguted and monitored effectively.

  IP phone numbers: These are i-based phone hat don't necessarily require an NID fistration. They are often used for i-based unication services like VoIP (Voice over I Protocol) and don't have the same traceability as regur mobile numbers.

  As he examihe number, a strange realization dawned on him. It wasn't a regur mobile number issued by any of the tele panies. It phone number.

  "This is weird," James muttered, showing the o Ryan. "It's an IP phone number. You only make voice calls or send voice messages with these."

  Ryan's eyebrows furrowed in fusion. "So, we 't send them a message?"

  James shook his head. "Not a text message, at least. An IP phone is essentially a phone ected to the i, rather tharaditional phowork. They use i protocols (like VoIP) to make calls, and they often don't have the same features as regur mobile phones, such as SMS or MMS, like a LAN phone we used in the past. We could try calling them again, but I doubt they'll pick up.

  These are i-based phone hat don't necessarily require an NID fistration. They are often used for i-based unication services like VoIP (Voice over I Protocol) and don't have the same traceability as regur mobile numbers.

  The ck of an NID requirement means that IP phone numbers don't have the same level of traceability as regur mobile numbers. This make it more challenging to identify and verify the owners of IP phone numbers. While this anonymity be beneficial for privacy, it also pose challenges for security and atability. Law enfort agencies may find it more difficult to trace calls made from IP phone numbers, which be a in cases of misuse or illegal activities.

  Sourov then asked, "Then how did he message us?"

  James pondered for a moment and replied, "Well, there might be a new model of IP phohat allows sending messages. I'm not sure, but I o research it more."

  "Well, in the end, they are scamming people," Ryan pointed out. "Even if they were using a SIM card, it could be from an illegal source."

  Sourov, growing increasingly agitated, added, "We 't just sit here and do nothing. We o do something about it."
