Mobile phone end-users can start registering their subscriber identity modules (SIMs) today.
Public telecommunication entities (PTEs) or telecommunication companies such as Smart, Globe and DITO are now implementing Republic Act (RA) 11934, or the SIM Registration Act.
Lawyer Deo Virgil Tan, legal officer of National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) Region 6, said the online platforms for registration provided by the three PTEs will be activated.
Here are the links to remember for the SIM card registration:
* for DITO subscribers – https://dito.ph/RegisterDITO

Both prepaid and postpaid subscribers are covered by the SIM Registration Act, Tan emphasized.
“For postpaid subscribers i-verify lang nila sa ila service providers ang ila plan nga sila ang users sang sina nga number or SIM card. There’s a link, may ara man option, kumbaga daw checkbox kon prepaid ka or postpaid,” he added.
For Globe Business Postpaid customers, their data and information are deemed included in the Globe platform. Globe will get in touch with their postpaid customers at a later time to confirm and/or complete their registration details to align it with the requirements of the law.
As explained by the NTC-6 legal officer, subscribers should register within 180 days starting today to avoid having their SIM deactivated.
If there are still many unregistered subscribers once the 180 days have lapsed, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) may order an extension for another 120 days.
After the extension, all unregistered SIM cards will be automatically deactivated.
As a last option, the NTC and DICT will grant a five-day grace period before permanent deactivation.
“Basically kon indi sila makapa-register sa sina nga timeline, automatic ma-deactivate ang ila SIM card. Meaning indi na nila magamit, madulaan na sila sang signal kag madulaan sang service,” added Tan.
“Deactivated state” refers to the condition or status of a SIM that renders it incapable of being used for outgoing and incoming calls, internet access, or sending and receiving messages, except for exclusively enabling and informing such a SIM to be registered.
The NTC-6 legal officer reminded subscribers to provide correct information when registering their SIM because there will be a corresponding penalty for those who give fictitious information.
