Why You Should Never Share Your SIM Card
Sharing your SIM card with someone else can lead to serious consequences. If they engage in illegal activities, the SIM owner (you) will be held accountable. Always ensure that your SIM card is used only by you and is registered in your name.
What Happens If You Lose a SIM Registered in Your Name?
If you lose your SIM card, report it to your telecom provider immediately. They can block the old SIM and issue you a replacement with the same number. This ensures that no one else can misuse your registered mobile number.
The Connection Between SIM Owner Details and Online Banking
Online banking services are heavily dependent on SIM registration. Banks link accounts to registered mobile numbers to send OTPs and alerts. If your SIM is not registered correctly, you may face issues accessing online banking services.
Why Governments Enforce Strict SIM Registration Laws
Governments enforce SIM registration laws to curb criminal activities like terrorism, drug trafficking, and financial fraud. By ensuring that every mobile number is linked to an individual, authorities can monitor suspicious activities more effectively
