TACLOBAN CITY – Residents of Eastern Visayas now have access to free SIM card registration assistance from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Regional and Provincial Offices.
The department has authorized its offices in Tacloban City, Maasin City, Naval, Catbalogan City, Borongan, and Catarman to assist residents in registering their SIM cards with Globe, Smart, and DITO.
To register, individuals are asked to bring their cell phone with the SIM card they wish to sign up for and a valid government ID. The DICT offices are open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, to assist with the registration process.
DICT's move to offer free SIM card registration assistance aligns with the agency's goal to promote greater access to information and communications technology in the region.
By making the registration process more convenient and accessible, the DICT hopes to encourage more people in Eastern Visayas to take advantage of SIM card registration assistance before April 26, 2023, deadline set by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).
