"Text-Mex" or “Registration Nation”

Mexico is imposing a phone service cut-off deadline to enforce national cell phone registration, since cell phones are frequently used in kidnap-for-ransom plots. The plan will stop these crimes, as long as kidnappers willingly register their real names.

Kidnappers have been forever foiled, unless they figure out that they could just use their victim’s phone to make the ransom call.

In light of all the kidnappings in Mexico, Apple is designing the iRansom app.
