Globe SIM registration prepaid

Globe has launched its very own National SIM Registration Week starting today, February 20, 2023, providing assistance desks in around 500 locations nationwide to help its customers register their SIM cards. Globe says that the SIM registration week is its means of reaching out to its patrons, particularly senior citizens, PWDs, pregnant women, basic phone users, and those with no internet access, to register their SIMs before the April 26, 2023 deadline set by the SIM Registration Act. Aside from the National SIM Registration Week, Globe has introduced other measures to get their customers to register their SIMS such as opening assisted SIM registration in over 30 Puregold branches, putting up registration booths in 15 different areas, and enabling one-step registration for its postpaid and platinum users. The SIM Registration Act requires the registration of all SIMs as a major measure against the proliferation of criminal activity, including smishing and other mobile phone and online scams that have spread due to the anonymity of unregistered SIMs. As reported by Inquirer.net, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) announced that it would review proposals to improve the SIM Registration Act, including a requirement for SIM card owners to be physically present during registration. The online registration system has faced criticism for being exploited by fraudsters who sell preregistered SIM cards to facilitate scams.
