REMINDER: As the deadline for the registration of mobile SIMs on Wednesday, April 26, 2023 nears, the public is cautioned against unscrupulous persons who offer online registration for a fee.
The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) said anyone caught asking for a fee in exchange for assistance will be punished. Aside from the law specifically indicating that the registration should be free, bad actors may also use personal data obtained in the process for fraud and identity theft.
Here's how to register your sim through the different network providers:
For Globe subscribers, visit https://new.globe.com.ph/simreg. Users can also use the Globe One app to register.
Smart, TNT, and Sun prepaid subscribers can visit smart.com.ph/simreg where they can enter their information. The process will be similar to Globe's where you upload photos of your IDs as well.
Meanwhile, DITO subscribers can visit https://dito.ph/RegisterDITO or go to the Dito app and click on the banner for the registration.
The following information will be collected:
• Full name
• Birthday
• S*x
• Present or official address
• Identification card and ID number
Any of the following identification cards or documents with photo can be presented:
• Passport
• Philippine Identification System ID
• SSS ID
• GSIS ID
• Driver’s license
• NBI clearance
• Police clearance
• Firearms’ license to own and possess ID
• PRC ID
• IBP ID
• OWWA ID
• BIR ID
• Voter’s ID
• Senior citizen card
• UMID
• PWD card
• Any valid government-issued ID with photo
For SIMs to be used by businesses or organizations, the following information are required:
• Business name
• Business address
• Full name of authorized signatory
Globe, as well as DITO Telecommunity and Smart Communications, have been urging the government to extend the April 26 deadline to allow consumers to obtain valid IDs.
Telcos have said the lack of IDs as well as digital literacy are among the roadblocks that are slowing down the turnout.
Regulators, meanwhile, have not extended the SIM registration deadline yet.
