The number of SIM cards being sold in the market went down following the implementation of the mandatory SIM card registration law, Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan Uy said Tuesday.
"Since nag-announce tayo nito, bumagsak ang bentahan ng SIM Cards dahil dati itong mga scammers, itong mga sindikato, bili nang bili ng SIM card tapos tapon," Uy said at a Palace press briefing.
The Department of Information and Communications Technology earlier said over 12% of SIM cards across the country have been registered with telecommunications firms as of January 15, 2023.
