Users of existing SIM cards will have 180 days to register their SIMs or risk deactivation. New SIM cards, meanwhile, will be automatically deactivated unless their numbers are registered online.
Mobile users will be asked to provide their full name, date of birth, sex, home address, government ID and number, among others.
As the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the SIM registration take effect on Tuesday, December 27, several individuals expressed hope that this measure would help eliminate text scams.
Starting Tuesday, all new SIM cards will be deactivated and subscribers would have to abide by the process of the telcos to have their SIM cards registered and activated.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), however, warned the public against fake registration links so they would not be victimized by phishing scams.
For registration concerns, users of DITO Telecommunity Corp. can visit https://dito.ph/registerDITO, Globe Telecom Inc. at https://new.globe.com.ph/simreg, and Smart at https://smart.com.ph/simreg.
