There are many benefits which SIM card registration carries along. The fact that the registration exercise involves the collection of subscribers' personal information enables national security wings to trace crimes and lawlessness perpetuated by using mobile phones.
At one point or another, we have all heard of handset theft, or we have been the victims ourselves. Extortions, threats and hate text messages, are all reported by mobile users. All these can easily be traced if the mobile providers had personal information of their clients.
SIM card registration has now become a global exercise in telecom companies
Benefits
The Government of the Republic of Zambia issued the Statutory Instrument No. 65 of 2011 relating to the Registration of Electronic Communication Apparatus Regulations. The coming into effect of this law has made mandatory the registration of all SIM cards by mobile phone operators in Zambia. The purpose of this is to regulate the ownership and use of SIM cards for legitimate purposes. Any existing customer that does not register their SIM card risks deactivation after a due date. All new customers will be required to register their SIM on purchase

Challenge
• For Residents: The UID will become the single source of identity verification. There will be no hassle of repeatedly providing supporting identity documents each time they wish to access services such as obtaining a bank account, passport, driving license, and so on.
• For Registrars: The UIDAI will only enroll residents after de-duplicating records. The UIDAI’s verification processes will ensure lower KYR costs.
• For Governments: Eliminating duplication under various schemes is expected to save the government exchequer upwards of Rs.20,000 crores a year. It will also provide governments with accurate data on residents.
Benefits
The Government of India (GoI) has embarked upon an ambitious initiative to provide a Unique Identification number (UID) to every resident of India. Mapping the identities of a billion plus persons in a single nation is a big task by any definition.
First and foremost are the technological challenges. It has been estimated that at its peak, the UIDAI system will require comparing one million identity verification requests against a database of, say, 600 million identities.
The next big challenge is around security and privacy of the central repository where the complete database of public personal information exists.
