SIM registration designed to protect public from indiscriminate, illegal use of cellular phones. READ:
Starting yesterday, Dec. 27, 2022, all users of Subscriber Identity Module cards — or smart cards that store identification information that pinpoint a smartphone to a specific mobile network — were required to register such numbers. Public telecommunication entities are required to establish secure online SIM registration platforms for this purpose.
Republic Act No. 11934, commonly known as the SIM Registration Act, makes it easier for law enforcement agencies to pinpoint any individual engaging in cybercrime or similar illegal activities, thereby making it easier to investigate and prosecute the offender. SIM users, both for physical and embedded SIMs, are required to register until June 22, 2023. They must register existing SIMs within this period to avoid the deactivation of the SIM, but if they are unable to register with a valid reason, they could ask the DICT for an extension. Once approved, they will have until Oct. 20, 2023, to complete the registration process.
Postpaid mobile phone users, on the other hand, are specifically identified, as they pay for services used during a monthly billing cycle. They are registered as PTE subscribers. The new law still requires postpaid subscribers to validate and update their registered personal data. This will be done online and facilitated by their respective PTEs.
