Story time: When I arrived in Moscow, I bought a simcard in the airport terminal. I was tired from 2 days of flying & didn't watch the guy making the documents closely.
A week later, I received a text message saying that my documentation doesn't match my simcard details, and as such it will be switched off. I thought that was strange, so went into the mobile network office.
My simcard was to a foreign name - which means MY documents may have potentially been used to verify another simcard at the stand in the airport. In this case, it was likely just a mistake - but every possibility somebody was walking around with a simcard in my name.
🍑 You can rest assured I kicked the phone company' ass, and my complaint probably reverberated reasonably highly, as I tend to say what I truly think.
❗️Moral of the story - always watch the person formalizing your simcard in your name.
