Number of SIM cards one could hold shall be less or equal to number of Service providers in the Island, each provider will have different service levels. One can’t force public what to choose. Its freedom of choice, authority must monitor to see whether the person using the SIM permanently is the real owner. Also, must reduce the phone charges which are too high compared to other countries.

Another sign of shallowness of TRC's think tank. In one instance it blows its trumpet about the development of Tele-density in South Asia, in other instance bows down to somebody's stupid ideas.

Just add some sort of tax to SIM cards. Then people will start to deactivate the extra SIMs as it costing to them.

The problem of a person having multiple sims is that they cannot tap on particular phone numbers and get info. Very soon they will ban everything else and live happily ever after.

well at banning multiple sims isn't a bad idea. since there are enough cases where some use they to harass females. but then again at the rate the packages are changing people should be allowed to move from one to another with ease.

OK limit the use of number of sims to 2 or 5 but also allow number portability so that the consumer can switch between operator who are fleesing them.

Well. From the development point of view, better to regulate the multiple-use of sim. Not imposing anything, which decelerate of communication.

I dont think there is anything wrong in having many SIM, already we appear in different identities all the time.

it would be fair to ban who kept more than five sim in order to eradicate misuses of telecommunication.

Wonder where we are heading to. There seems to be too much interference into personal lives dictating what should be done or not. No addtl sim cards, can't eat flour based products except rice etc & cannot imagine what more is there in store.
