Chechnya’s Mobile Scramble

27-APR-2005

SIM cards are changing hands on the black market as demand for mobile phones outstrips supply in the war-torn republic.

By Kazbek Vakhayev in Grozny (CRS No. 284, 27-Apr-05)

Twenty-year-old university student Marina Suleimanova came out of the office of the Megafon telephone company in Grozny with a joyful smile on her face.

She had queued outside the office for three days before paying 16 US dollars for the precious right to own a mobile phone.

“Here’s the SIM card,” she said proudly, before rummaging in her handbag for a mobile phone to insert it into. Happily punching numbers into the handset, Marina became one of 70,000 owners of a sparse commodity in a republic virtually bereft of all normal communications.
