Sounds like it could be for facial recognition? I'd imagine the blinking was to ensure they have variations of your normal facial features in different states for comparison. This idea also applies to why they asked you to do it 3 times. Why a mobile carrier would require this, I have no idea. I suppose it also depends on government overreach where you are located.
- rodolphoarruda 7y agoI spoke about this to a friend who is a lawyer. He told me this might be to protect the carrier against bad customers who maliciously claim they didn't purchase the service in the first place, pretending it had been done by a fraudster using their personal info. A scam that allows them free Internet for ~45days until the carrier decides to call on the 1st outstanding bill. Apparently, a still picture of the customer in the shop wasn't a strong proof of presence, so they decided to make a short video (or GIF) instead.
