Guide on for SIM Card Register to Smart Telecommunication Provider
SIM CARD REGISTER – Here is a complete guide on the step-by-step registration process for users of new Smart SIMs.
SIM card registration is now mandated by law for SIM card users in the Philippines. The SIM Card Registration Act was the first measure signed by President Bongbong Marcos into a law. The authorities push for it in the pursuit to reduce the incidents of scamming and spamming.
The different telecommunication providers in the Philippines moved to create platforms for users’ registration as mandated by the law. The Filipinos were also given time to register their SIMs so they will not be deactivated.
