It has now become a permanent practice that many service providers are marketing free SIM cards to lure the general public to become their customers in this competitive environment. Many overlook even obtaining bonafide identity of the subscribers. Later on this number is disclosed to many business people and time and again business SMS messages galore. This unfair practice is not controlled by any legislation. Government is yet to come forward to take any measures to address this issue. Let our eminent legal intellectuals join this debate and post their feedback to this issue.

I wish to further add that in the name of competition even reputed service providers float the Telecom norms and issue 'n' number of SIM cards even to a single customer with free talk time.
