Sources for GP Recycled Number Data
Everything this tool returns comes from Grameenphone’s own publicly published recycled-number notices. We do not add, guess, or alter any numbers — we only make the already-public lists faster to search. Here is exactly where the data comes from and how it is processed.
What sources are used
The data is built entirely from the dated recycled / permanently-deactivated number notices that Grameenphone publishes for the public, and the regulatory context published by BTRC. We link directly to the primary sources so you can verify any result yourself:
How the notices are processed
Grameenphone publishes these lists as dated PDF notices. The tool discovers each published PDF, reads the numbers it contains, normalizes them to a standard format, and stores them so they can be searched instantly. Re-reading the same notice never duplicates or inflates a number’s record — each number keeps a link back to the official notice it appeared in.
How often it is updated
Grameenphone’s published notices are re-checked daily and any new recycled-number lists are imported automatically, so the checker stays close to the latest deactivations. Each result shows the date of the notice it came from rather than when it was scraped.
Limitations
This index reflects the public notices as we last read them and can lag behind the operator. A number not found here may simply be on a notice that has not been indexed yet, and a listed number is not necessarily available to take. Treat results as a helpful pointer to the official notices, not as a real-time record.
