this is a good idea... but the problem is, i do not trust my government to have so much power over me. if only i can trust them.

Most European countries is using GSM (with SIM card, US is mostly CDMA no SIM card) and they don't require you an ID when buying a SIM card however they are doing fine.

If ang target ani is mga organized crime then this will fail. Makakuha man gani ta ug fake diploma or any kind of ID, even birth certificate.

Siguro if they should train and acquire the technology of triangulating the location of a cellphone using cell towers and satellite mas effective pa na. they only need to get the MEID of the cellphone which is unique to every phone. bisan mag ilis2x pa ug SIM card kay ang MEID sa phone lisod man ilisan or dili mailisan.

I believe this is wrong. I've lived in UK and Germany for months ... they require you to register your SIM even if its pre-paid. In France its also the same for Vonage, O2, Orange ... etc.

Crime is a crime ... for criminals they would always find a way to break the system.

But that doesn't mean - "Puslan man kawatan lang gihapon ta, ayaw nalang i lock ang pultahan, kay mao ra gihapon"

If there's a way to at least lessen cellphone related crimes - then we should do it, whatever it takes.

Thats why we call it subscriber's identification module aka SIM.. So dapat ma identify ang identity sa owner mao dapat e register.

what happens if you are a registered sim card user, then your phone gets stolen and then your phone is used immediately to dial the triggering mech of a bomb in a bus, mall or anywhere? (you're in the middle of nowhere nga walay payphone or ur in an alley past store hours and dili nimo mareport ang imo stolen phone dayon)

are we going into the hassle of going to court as a suspect because of a lost phone? or will the true criminal get away just by an alibi that he's phone got stolen and was used for the crime?

just a crazy thought
