The law says SIM card registration will be done electronically using a secure platform or website provided by the telcos. How can these people enroll their SIM cards if they have no Internet access?
Glitches and server issues affected thousands of mobile subscribers who wanted to register their SIM cards on the first day of implementation of the SIM Card Registration law on Tuesday. Mobile phone users reported that the registration sites of their telcos either crashed or can’t be accessed.
Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s chief sustainability and corporate communications officer, was heard on radio saying the group’s registration portal had been taken down temporarily to fix issues with its verification process, which asked users to upload a selfie. This additional step was added after the government required telcos to verify users’ information upon registering their SIM cards.
For businesses that register their SIM cards, they are required to provide the following documents: SEC Certificate of Registration or DTI Registration, Board Resolution designating the authorized representative, or Special Power of Attorney, in the case of other juridical entities.
