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. 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. Read more in our articles including "DICT, telcos agree to SIM registration limit of 10 per user" and "Smart Home WiFi Postpaid expands to 100+ Smart Stores".
