He added that 70 per cent of the 20 million or so SIM cards in use in Cambodia, where many residents own more than one, have no ID attached to them, meaning as many as 14 million phone numbers could be discontinued. read more: http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national ThaiVisa, c'est aussi en français ThaiVisa, it's also in French
