Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium used in reloading a mobile number are disclosed. According to some embodiments, in performing the method, the apparatus receives a request of reloading the mobile number. The request is sent by a terminal, but the mobile number does not correspond to the terminal. The apparatus then obtains information on the mobile number, and determines whether the mobile number is a trusted number based on the obtained information. When the mobile number is a trusted number, the apparatus reloads the mobile number. When the mobile number is not a trusted number, the apparatus alerts the terminal that the mobile number is not a trusted number.
