Id proof is worthless if you have to show it. You can always get used prepaid sims on markets shops, internet and don't need to show any proof.

Showing id is just another rwason to check and give an idea of fake security.

If india does check this I wonder what they do on foreign sims roaming on their network.

So i think before using satellite phones we should take care of legality of using that in a particular area.

Good advice, and wouldn't it have been more interesting if you had given us updates on the latest position there, rather than merely post spam to sell them.
