As the April 26
deadline for SIM registration rapidly draws near,
leading digital solutions
platform Globe strongly
urged its subscribers to
complete the registration
process immediately, with
33.067 million of its 86.5
million customer base
compliant with the law as
of April 20.
“We encourage
all our subscribers to register their SIMs as soon as
possible to maintain uninterrupted access to mobile and broadband services.
Pending response to our
appeal for the government
to extend the deadline, we
call on all Globe SIM users
to comply with the law,”
said Globe Group President and CEO Ernest Cu.
Globe also reiterated its call for the Department of Information and
Communications Technology (DICT) to extend the
deadline so customers
can obtain valid IDs– a key
requirement for SIM registration that many SIM users lack, preventing them
from completing registration.
Globe also requested the government
to allow the use of alternative forms of identification
for SIM registration, citing
that many citizens may not
possess official government papers.
SIMs that remain
unregistered by the deadline will be deactivated,
preventing customers
from using Globe’s call,
text and data services.
This could severely impact
customers who rely on
their mobile numbers for
authentication in various
sensitive transactions, especially banking, and other financial services, and
who use mobile phones
for day-to-day needs.
Globe Prepaid,
TM, and Globe At Home
customers can register
their SIMs for free via

ph/simreg or through the
GlobeOne app. Customers are requested to be
ready with the necessary
information such as Full
Name, Date of Birth, Sex,
Address, Government ID
with Photo, and Mobile
Number.
Globe Postpaid
and Platinum customers,
meanwhile, may confirm
their details by texting
SIMREG to 8080.
Globe Business
authorized representatives may use the enterprise SIM registration portal to register their SIMs.
They may contact their
Account Manager for more
information.
To facilitate the
registration process for
as many subscribers as
possible, Globe has transformed 147 Stores and 25
EasyHubs into dedicated
assistance centers. Additionally, it has collaborated with local government
units (LGUs), grocery
stores, and malls to set
up assisted registration
booths at more than 100
locations across the Philippines.
Likewise, Globe
has consistently taken part
in the government-led SIM
Registration caravans to
cater to subscribers in remote areas.
