Extended! Globe, TM SIM Registration Guide: Step-by-step Tutorial

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr signed Republic Act No. 11934, commonly known as the SIM Registration Act of 2022, into law last October 2022, and it went into force on December 27, 2022. It is a new rule that mandates users to register their SIM cards in order to increase protection against the increasing spam and scam messages that are transmitted every day. All current and future mobile users must register their SIM cards through the TELCOS registration services. Existing mobile subscribers must register their SIM cards to avoid deactivation, while new subscribers must register prior to activation. Subscribers have 180 days, or until April 26, 2023, from the date the law goes into effect to register their sim cards. However, due to the low SIM registration number, President Marcos extended the registration for another 90 days.

SIM cards users need to register their SIM cards until July 25, 2023. Those SIM cards that are not registered will be deactivated and can only be reactivated after registration and no later than five days after the automatic deactivation.

Now that the SIM Registration Act is extended, you can start registering your Globe SIM Card to comply with the law. Here is how to register your SIM Card if you are a Globe, Globe-at-Home Prepaid WiFi, Touch Mobile, or MyFi user.
