> No one is taking your voice print and biometric details

Some Italian cell operators do. For example, when you are buying a new sim card for Iliad, you do this in front of an automated kiosk where you have to scan your ID, then face camera and say outloud "my name is Insert Your Name Here, and I would like to make a phone service contract with Iliad".

Is that for voice printing purposes, or is it in lieu of signing your name on a paper contract?
