鉴于近期学校和公共场所收到炸弹威胁，参议员谢尔温·加查利安正寻求总统罗德里戈·杜特尔特认证该法案，以推动SIM 卡注册法案通过。
参议员加查利亚恩表示，此法案旨在避免通过短信传播的炸弹威胁谣言。该法案将要求用户在购买SIM卡时出示有效的带照片身份证件。此外，现有预付费SIM卡用户必须在法律生效后180天内完成登记，否则其SIM卡将被停用。
“预付费手机号码的强制注册将遏制恶意恶作剧者，并使我们能够惩罚那些目前通过短信肆意制造安全恐慌的人。”参议院国防与安全委员会成员加查林表示。
用户的私人信息将严格保密，账单不会侵犯人民的隐私权。
您是否支持将此法案提交参议院审议？虽然这会增加消费者的负担，但应有助于减少由随机手机号码发起的此类恶作剧或威胁。
更新：现有用户需在法律实施后180 天内注册其预付费 SIM 卡，否则将被停用。
Agree ako dito. Inconvenience dahil kailangan pa iregister? Eh di wag kang mag-celfone! Batugan ka. Magastos magpa-replace pag mawala? Kasalanan mo. Burara ka!
I hope we have to register with a government agency, instead of the sim retailer. Imagine, leaving your ID information which usually includes your birthday, SSS/GSIS number, TIN and address (business or home). Good luck naman. Not that this is my problem since I’m a postpaid subscriber. Sana this passes along with the unified national ID. I think that is more important than registering a prepaid sim card.
having this bill will also lead to more gastos e.g lost phone with prepaid sim will need to file an affidavit of lost para iwas liability if ever na gamitin sa masama…tama ba?
if they want to stop pranksters, just deactivate offending sim card…or triangulate offending sim card location and arrest/convict the owner…
ang isang estado na masyadong maraming police power ay nakakatakot…
at ang dapat parusahan ay yung palaging tuwatawag kahit hindi kailangan (yes, i am referring to you globe call center agents offering promos) at yung spam texts (download and win thingy, download ringtone/ringbackthingy, you won $$$ from villar foundation, etc)
in short, against po ako sa mandatory sim card registration.
(ang advantage dito ay malalaman ko na rin sa wakas ang cellphone number nina angel locsin at megan young)
Just deactivate offending sim card? then the offender can just readily buy another sim card at any street vendor and continue this time with a new number, this law is to make it harder for offenders to buy a new sim card should their number be deactivated, and also know the name or at least the face of the offender that used their number to commit crimes.
“triangulate offending sim cards”, lol, movie? in the movies it only takes a quick phone call to know the exact location of the phone and the exact person using it, in REAL LIFE it needs 30 min to an hour of uninterrupted phone call to actually find the general area where the sim card was used, and even if they find the general area, said area would be a kilometer wide triangle, if the phone call was made in a highly populated city like Metro Manila with thousands calling at the same time in that area, finding the exact person making the call is damn impossible.
If you just don’t want to be inconvenienced should the law be implemented, then you should just say that.
(di mo parin malalaman number nina angel locsin at megan young kasi hindi naman gagawan ng directory ang mga sim cards, pag-nireport mo lang ang isang sim card number dyan mo malalaman kung sino may-ari ng sim card.
tama lang to. iwas spam, prank, scam etc. sana nga noon pa nila ginawa to eh. para naman maging responsible yung mga users. pwede pakibilisan naman yung pag approve ng bill.
Gatchalian, the one who spammed text messages wants this bill…
I received his Election message too! haha
I am in favor of this. Also, to “completely” stop annoying receiving text spams, ads and solicitations.
dapat lng nmn, sa ibang bansa ganyan nmn talaga pag bibili ng sim.
Question lang, kung yung user mismo yung required magregister paano maeensure na yung niregister nya is siya nga? Pano kung ibang tao niregister nya tapos ginamit sa masama? Di ba dapat yung magrehistro eh yung ngbebenta ng sim? Kasi sa kanya iprepresent yung valid id?
Registration is upon purchase of a new SIM. The 180-day timeframe is for existing prepaid users to register once the law is in effectivity.
tingin ko, dectivated muna lahat ng dinpa nagagamit na sim na nasa market na. then, kailangan mong pumunta sa telco o sa designated stores para ikaw ang mag papa activate with a valid ID. kaso, paano yung mga PWD? at mga prank messages lang naman ang nakikita kong reason dito at privacy naman ang susunod na issue nito.
sana na nga maisa batas na yan
“The bill will require a user to present a valid photo I.D. upon purchase of a SIM card which he or she must register within 180 days or the SIM card will be deactivated.”
So basically it will come pre activated, and good up to 180 days without registering it first? Nope, it should not be activated, not until the customers can complete the whole process. That’s the point of this registration, it needs to be done right. They can tie-in the activation with the store that sold them i.e buy a sim from Games and Gadget and the store should also activate it provided one has the needed info, e.g, i.d. Activation with the sim’s carrier via their business centers. And via electronic channels; sms, online etc.
We noticed that, too, and checked with other sources. New SIMs need to be registered with a valid ID upon purchase. Meanwhile, existing prepaid users will have 180 days to register theirs or it will be deactivated. This is after the law comes into effect. Thanks for clearing that out
@Sico Riceeatingmunster, brod, wala namang basagan ng trip… ;)
kung hindi ko rin malalaman yung phone numbers nina angel at megan, lalong ayoko sa mandatory sim registration.
at yung mga biktima ng spam election text ni gatchalian, class action suit tayo… ;)
libre text daw kapag nanalo tayo…
