Customers of Globe and TM will have until April 26, 2023, to register their SIM cards or risk deactivating them. Meanwhile, beginning December 27, new SIM holders will receive deactivated SIMs upon purchase and must register immediately to access Globe services.
Assisted registration sites will also be established by the telecommunications company to help customers who require assistance with the registration process, such as senior citizens, people with disabilities, and pregnant women.

Mandatory SIM registration is vital in the Philippine government's efforts to improve security and prevent fraudulent activities.
Authorities will be able to track and verify the identities of mobile phone users by requiring all SIM card holders to provide valid identification, which will aid in the fight against crimes such as identity theft and cyberbullying.
