Smart reiterates its request to extend the SIM registration deadline to give subscribers ample time to register their SIMs.

Smart: We see the need to give subscribers more time to secure the government IDs required to register their SIMs.

DICT acknowledges that the current figures are far from the target, with numerous SIMs remaining unregistered.

Smart and TNT will continue to set up assisted touchpoints at selected summer destinations, transport hubs, and more.

Failure to register your SIMs results in permanent deactivation or the so-called ‘SIM dead’ situation. 

The DICT warns that they are not extending the SIM registration deadline, with barely 15 days left before April 26.

With 28 days left before the deadline for SIM registration, less than 32% of all SIMS have registered so far.

From an average of 1,500 complaints per day, it went down to only 100 per day as of March 2023.

With barely 30 days left before the deadline, only 26.75 percent of SIMs are registered so far.

Smart Communications has set up SIM registration booths at select SM Cyberzone nationwide.
