Some traders charge to Rica SIM

How do they plan on switching peoples cell phones off tomorrow?

Egypt had an ' internet kill switch' ... Voda and eMpTyN can create the same across the board by doubling their fees this midnight. that would get me to voluntarily switch mine off.

hmmm, will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow but I reckon they will offer a grace period as usual.
 
Back when I still worked, we were sent on RICA training, and one of my first questions was 'do we keep a copy of the ID and Proof of Residence' - the answer, obviously, was no, and I knew then that the concept, while noble on some levels, was doomed to fail since no proof was kept on record.
Proof of residence = Fail
The only thing "likely" to link a simcard to subscriber is identity document. If we still having illegal id's in circulation this also going to be a big fail.
Last concern - will government or providers let me check how many simcards registered under my portfolio in case someone used my identity to register fraudulently.
 
Maybe because it's not about the company but about having people comply with the law?

Also strange that some people of the demographic most likely to be involved in cellphone crime didn't have to supply proof of address when Rica'ing .. just proves what a farce the whole process is.
And what demographic is that?
 
If you see some Hollywood type characters at a call box, then you can be certain they never Rica'd their phones.

If you wondering what Hollywood means, "Hollywood = up to no good".
