When buying a SIM card, you must provide your name, social security and show an identity card or passport in the living room of one of the mobile networks. “But if we want to remain anonymous, just go to one of the advertising services and search registered SIM cards. Prices start from 20 zł per unit. The law does not put any restrictions on the number of cards which can be registered for one person” – the newspaper writes.
From the explanation, which the newspaper obtained at the Office of Electronic Communications that selling the registered card is legal. “The law does not regulate is a matter for the sale by the subscriber registered for the subscriber’s SIM card to other subscribers.”
The government of Law and Justice, introducing these provisions, assumed that help to prevent acts of terror. However, this is accompanied by many doubts.
The obligation to register all subscribers of telephone networks is quite common and occurs in many countries, eg. France, Spain, Germany, Denmark, India. But the UK government after much analysis has not decided to introduce registration of prepaid cards. Mexico and withdrew from this solution three years after the introduction.
“The obligation to register has led in fact to the dissemination of stolen numbers and identity, by which innocent people have problems later with justice. Criminals also benefited from foreign telephone numbers. therefore, the solution has become a mirage rather than the actual guarantor of security “- quoted by the newspaper said the foundation Panoptykon dealing with this issue.
