#prepaid SIM

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) in its recent forum says that it plans to put a SIM registration limit with a maximum of 10 per user. The aim is to resolve the 'alarming' cases of text scams, which have remained rampant despite the mandatory SIM registration. He says that it’s ‘abnormal’ for a prepaid user to register over 10 SIMs, unless they are using them for malicious activities. DICT initially proposed a limit of five SIMs, but telco providers agreed to a SIM registration limit of 10. “We don’t need to amend [the SIM registration law], because the safeguards are there,” said Ramos. As of July 30—the end of SIM registration period—NTC data showed a total of 113.9 million registered SIMs. The GOMO Prepaid eSIM is now available in the Philippines. I should note that interested users should check if their smartphones are eSIM compatible.
