Tanzania says may switch off 15 mln SIM cards in biometric registration DAR ES SALAAM, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Tanzania’s telecoms regulator said on Thursday it may switch off up to 15 million SIM cards of users who failed to register their mobile phone lines biometrically.

That was the deadline TCRA had set for all SIM card owners to have registered their lines biometrically. Tanzania has an estimated 45 million active mobile phone subscribers. Of those just over 30 million or 66.3 percent had registered biometrically by the deadline, according to official data. Under the new registration, users’ fingerprints are captured alongside scans of their nation
