Malaysia’s mobile phone users now will not allowed to have more than 10 sim cards from any telecommunication provider. They are no longer allowed to buy or have more than 10 SIM cards.
The dealers registering details of prepaid card buyers must also transmit the information directly to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission via a GPRS MyKad reader.
I wonder why they did this. Guess this is for user’s safety, maybe. Reading this news remind me 3 years ago when the first time the government urge the prepaid users to register their complete details to use them. I won a Lelong auction, few hours later, received a call the auction owner, asking me to transfer the money and he’ll send it right away. He’s of course, a verified user, and got ‘look’ good feedback ratings. Got cheated after sending the payments, about RM1.2k. DamnIt! Before doing transactions, I’ve requested all his details, but all of them were just fake. He’s a Chinese, and there were 2 of them, one telling that he’s the owner of the phone, and another one was the phone seller. F**k! Swear to god I’ll find this guy!
Okay, back to our story, now I need to reduce my simcards. Huhuhu… Now I got 4 of them:
- Normal Celcom prepaid (019-9XX8809, love this beautiful 4 digit number!),
- Celcom Youth pack (also, love this number, cheap! call 15 cent to any number till I 26th),
- Celcom Postpaid – For my Celcom HSDPA
- Maxis Prepaid – most of my colleges use Maxis. They’ll ignore other number (019,016) coz expensive charges. This is the fact and I can’t run from this. Although I dont feel comfortable with the charges, the ‘charges-keep-changing’ supersavers, promotions, but I need to keep this turned on. Huhu…
Digi?Happy? Well, planning to have one, serious. Just giving my opinions.
