    Barely a few months into SIM registration, dami na nila nahuhuli nagbebenta ng pre-registered cards. That was enough proof to call this whole “It WiLl sToP cRiMeS” rationale as pure BS.

    Edit: This guy got caught in Sept 2022… or about 3 months before sim registration even started!

    Illegal seller of SIM cards nabbed

      Yeah. I never believed it’ll stop or even minimize cyber crimes. Other countries have it in one form or another and failed.

      This will lead to a massive power-tripping from govt agencies that I hope our telcos will fight, if that happens.

      Also, SIM registration will never be a solution to eradicate scammers, but fuck it. This is mandatory.
