SIM card registration as anti-crime tool?

[masterjanuarius]

What's the fuzz? SIM Card registration should be implemented in our country ... and those not registered should not have access to the networks ... We call this something fishy, but when we will become one victimized by scams or our pix being used by criminals or whatever ... SIM number will be easy to be recognized and criminals can be apprehended ... I strongly agree that such be done here in our country ... Whenever I travel, and would buy a SIM Card to use the CP, I had to present my passport so they know that I have a visa of stay in that country .. hence, they will give me a SIM. We can be protected by this really .. and only criminals or those with intent should be afraid of this.

lisod man gani dakpon ang gi carnap nga motor o car...unsa na kaha ang SIM, nga puerting gamaya.
Inig palit nimo ug car...puerte kadaghan sa papeles nga imong pirmahan...pero inig kawaton ang imong car, maglisod na ka ug pangita, walay silbe ang mga papeles nga imong gigunitan.

murag ingon ani pud ang mahitabo sa SIM card registration.
samuk-samuk lang, dugang dugang sa waste paper, sayang ang mga kahoy, save the environment.

added security

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....

I'm sorry. Pero kaning sim card registration, dili ni para sa kanang mga nakawat nga cellphone. LOL. I think you misunderstood the issue.

mao bitaw naka daut sa pinas sir.. daghan taw mag pa dala sa gi bati..
parihas atong sa automated election... ubay2x pud ang ni supak ug ni question2x sa implementation ato.. pero diha ra na feel ang effect sa project after sa implementation

[kit_cebu]

dili ni siya stupid proposal, the advance countries used this because they believe in it.

but the philippines does not have the capability to implement and maintain.

not capability....but what is the present situation.... pre-paid subscriptions OUTNUMBER post-paid subscriptions....

unsaon man daw na beh.... kada palit simpack, register?

advanced countries? that is because they are post-paid subscriptions...and these needs personal info from you before you get a line....

so, stupid.....

a cop can't even tell a criminal even if he's in front of him if he's not looking on a most wanted list.... kani pa?

sa singapore sir kung mo palit ka ug prepaid nga sim.. pangayo an ka ug Identification (passport, IC, work pass)

a cop can't even tell a criminal even if he's in front of him if he's not looking on a most wanted list.... kani pa?

mao nang nihiit kaayo nang mag binuang2x ug text scam ug uban pang kabuang sa phone nga singapore number kai kahibaw sila ma trace kung kinsa sila kung naa mo sumbong sa pulis

[kit_cebu]

^again, the word outnumber will come into place........most importantly, IMPLEMENTATION....

naa ba guy nadakpan sa mga gipang-report nga IMEI sa NTC? wala... they can only block it...

nagkainit lage ni..

no worries brother

Ok. Why don't you propose a solution instead, anything you can help to improve cellphone security?

Solution? Not merely cellphone security though. My proposal is to build or improve intelligences of authorities and strictly apply crime prevention system already in place. If only we have better intelligences that would probably help on busting terrorists as well other organized crimes like drug trafficking, smuggling, kidnapping, killing, etc. Do you not want our authorities to have that? How many innocent people being suspected as criminals for them to show the public that they already solve the crime? Adding this sim registration may increase this kind of scenario.

This sim registration thing needs a closer study, weighing the pros and cons. Yet IMO, this is not even a closer solution. Conducting strict check on airports, malls and bus stations, increase police visibility, installation of CCTV cameras, checkpoints are far better than this. These are even the basic crime prevention but don't seem strictly implemented. Only waiting for incidents to happen and another lives are at risk.

@ TS: imo ta ni gihimu-an ug poll imong thread

What poll? Hmmmm, maybe a poll like What would be the best quote of this thread?

Poll Option 1:"kung gusto maraming para an.. kung ayaw maraming dahilan"
Poll Option 2:"The Problem in this world is that the asinine are damn sure...... while the astute are full of questions and doubts...."



Seriously, I already added a poll. Check it now and vote.

I believe we can change the system ... that starts with by changing ourselves. If you are reluctant to change for the better good, its becomes detrimental to progress, you'd become a hindrance noon for development. Sim card registration isn't something that would take us backwards, dili pud na siya complete solution to phone-related crimes, but still - makatabang pa gyud gihapon. Why are people so reluctant to this positive change?

I'm a pro-change. It's just that its NOT the best to implement considering the current scenario here in our country. Let's think close-to-real solution without putting burden to the general public.

[crinkle]

why not? many countries have done this ages ago. why are we being so awfully behind?

this may not completely solve every crime that involves a mobile phone, but this will help.

if a criminal used a fake ID in registering the number, then they can at least locate where it was registered. besides, this isn't only about terrorists. if all sim cards were registered, this will help stop all those unwanted spammers. i hate waking up in the middle of the night only to see that i've received a message about me joining a 'digital draw' and winning a gazillion dollars. yey! i'm rich!

[cliff_drew]

We tend to rush implementing a system used on many countries without considering the applicability and reliability of it? Quoting from first post, "In theory, SIM card registration is attractive and seems to be a good option. But, upon closer study, it is not a smart thing to do."
