Dominant telcos Smart Communications Inc. and Globe Telecom Inc. on Thursday renewed their call for the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to extend the SIM registration deadline.
In a statement, Globe reiterated its appeal for the extension of the April 26, 2023 deadline for mobile subscribers to register their SIMs “so customers can obtain valid IDs— a key requirement for SIM registration that many SIM users lack, preventing them from completing registration.”
She said that “extending the deadline will give our remaining 45% subscriber base ample time to register.” As the deadline draws near, Globe called on the government to allow the use of alternative forms of identification for SIM registration, citing that many citizens may not possess official government papers.The deactivation of SIM will prevent a subscriber from receiving and sending calls and text messages and accessing mobile applications and digital wallets.
