Hello Ronnie, I feel your pain, but I must say this process is long over due! It is a mandatory procedure for every teleco to register all its subscribers. UCC was abit lenient to all these guys in the first place. If you go many countries, you just can't walk into a shop and buy a sim card like we do it in UG. In as much as it might appear as a 'breech of privacy' I believe it is a move aimed at protecting you and me. Imagine your phone was stolen and sold to whoever. As soon as they put in their sim card it will be quite easy to for starters know who is using your stolen phone. That's a plus for starters isn't it? Cheers!
