dito sim card registration

DITO Telecommunity intends to implement SIM registration of its subscribers as fast as three months. "We can implement the SIM registration ahead of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) at no cost to subscribers," said DITO Chief Administrative Officer Atty. Chief Technology Officer, Retired Major General Rodolfo Santiago explained that a structure for registration has been already included in DITO's system since the inception of the SIM Registration law. “As part of subscriber onboarding via the multi-purpose DITO app with subscriber data protected by strict privacy guidelines.” This system is similar to other telco's own apps like Smart's GigaLife and Globe's GlobeOne apps where users may register their personal information like full name, email, and birthdate.
