All SIM card owners are required to register their SIM cards within 180 days from the date of the law’s effectivity. Failure to register your current or new SIM card within the specified period will result in deactivation, making it useless for voice calls, internet access, text messaging, and other mobile services.

Register Existing Prepaid SIM Cards

Active Prepaid subscribers, prior to the start of SIM registration (December 27, 2022), have a deadline of April 26, 2023, to register their SIMs. If you fail to register within the period specified, your SIM will be deactivated automatically.

Therefore, you cannot use the SIM for calls, texts, and mobile data. However, a deactivated Prepaid SIM card will be given a 5-day grace period to register and get reactivated.

On April 25, 2023, Pres. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. approved the 90-day SIM registration extension.
