Successful SIM registration! I was able to register my SIM card within 5 minutes! Here's how I did it!
Under the new SIM Registration Law, all new and exisiting SIM - including mobile SIM card, broadband SIM and eSIMs are required to be registered. Although Republic Act No. 11934 states that subscribers have 180 days from the effectivity of the law or until April 26, 2023 to register their SIM cards, I took the time to register my Globe prepaid mobile SIM card to avoid deactivation. How to register your SIM card? Here are the steps and my experience in registering my SIM card.
UPDATE: The mandatory SIM card registration period has been extended for another 90 days or until July 25, 2023.

Now I am a foreigner, I made a mistake not reading carefully. I did the registration proces and suddenly my long time simcard which I use for banking/maya/gcash and you name it, is suddenly only valid for 30 days. What on earth is going on. How can this happen ?? And what impact has this to the green environment and the criminal activities to obtain a registered simcard by the criminals, to use it an extensive time there is only one thing to do with the owner, right?
ReplyDeleteThis terifies me. I have so much linked to my mbl number, I don't know how I will be able to stay in Ph without it.
DeleteIt is such a ridiculous invasion of privacy. Mexico always tried it then got rid of it after 3 years not effective. Smartbro sends text that they will call me to assist....WHEN THE SIM IS IN A PLUG IN...THEY WILL CALL ME?!!
DeletePlease help! I can't register my Gomo SIM because it says I exceeded the maximum request. Ive been waiting for 24 hours, but still I can't receive an OTP. Thank you
Deletevery simple, if you have friends in the Philippines, ask them to register your sim under their name..Just like me, I ask my cousin to register it under her name. I used my Philippine sim card for my bank transaction only for OTP..Non Filipino citizen has 30 days valid only for their sim card to work..Its Very idiotic law..
DeleteMine is different situation. My SIM card is registered in Canada but I use this to received OTP for my banking in the Philippines. Should I register my SIM card then in the philipines?
DeleteHow can I retrieve my reference number, I already registered my number and take a screenshot but my phone was broken and I lost all my photos and screenshots .

ReplyDeleteForeigner here. Same situation as the other. My long time number is registered to Maya, GCash, Foodpanda, etc and now it's only valid for 30 days. This wasn't thoroughly thought out for those who frequent the country.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a nightmare. Please update here if you find a solution! I just left a comment on the Globe website help (they have an item for Foreigners), under the "not Helpful" section. I have so much linked to my SIM number.
Deleteask any friend you know in the Philippines, who can register your sim under their name..thats it..
