Problems thatMaster title stylewithout Sim Card Act
are occurring

• According to the government, the law exists to

safeguard consumers against nefarious
practices that have been prevalent with
unregistered SIM cards, including scams,
smishing, and other forms of online and mobile
fraud.

• Because criminals can use prepaid SIMs

without registering any of their personal
information, it makes them more elusive to law
enforcement and they are enabled to continue
their illegal activities anonymously and avoid
detection.
