Saudi to tighten up SIM sales

Saudi Arabia: Sunday, January 21 - 2007 at 16:12

Mobile phone companies in Saudi Arabia are seeking to tighten up the sale of unregistered pre-paid SIM cards, reported Arab News. Telco outfits such as Mobily want a customer's personal details to be documented each time a SIM card is sold. The use of unregistered SIM cards is increasing and it is estimated 70% of the kingdom's 15m mobile subscribers are unregistered.
