It said the aim was to combat fraud now being perpetrated through mobile phones in the country.
"We have had many cases of frauds, threats, intimidations, blackmails, abuses and other types of behaviours through mobile phones," ARM Chairman, Mallam Issoufou, said.
PANA recalls that the government, in 2008, promulgated a decree which required all moblile users to be registered. Since then, no phone operator has complied with the rule.
There are four mobile phone operators in Niger -- Zain, Orange, Moov and Sahel-Com.
