Nairobi, Oct. 9 -- The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) plans to set up a central database of recycled phone numbers to help banks, fintech firms and other service providers avoid sending messages to unintended recipients after mobile lines change ownership.

The database will list recently recycled numbers to enable third parties, such as bulk SMS platforms, to verify their status before sending subscription-related messages.
