Abstract: The present invention is a plagiarization-proof function for a SIM card, wherein a telecommunication service data of a telecommunication vendor is processed with a data encryption, and is then saved on an identifiable service identification card which can be accessed for a registration data. Next, the registration data is entered into a mobile phone module and a SIM card module, through the mobile phone module or a computer program. Accordingly, through a service of logging and registration provided by the telecommunication vendor, the registration data accessed by the subscriber is submitted to the telecommunication vendor to request for a registration and a provision of communication service, through a logging and registration program of the SIM card module, so as to achieve purposes of preventing from being plagiarized and of expanding the communication service.
