100 M registered SIMs in Ph as of mid-July-NTC
By J.Lo
National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) said number of registered mobile phone subscriber identification modules (SIMs) in the Philippines has surpassed 100 million.
As of July 13, 2023, total of 103,101,990 SIMs have been registered, accounting for 61.36% of country's total subscriber base of 168,016,400.
Data from NTC's website showed among registered SIMs, 48.798 million belong to Smart subscribers, comprising 73.60% of company's total subscriber base of 66.304 million.
Globe follows closely behind with 47.025 million registered SIMs, accounting for 54.21% of its 86.746 million total subscribers.
DITO Telecommunity's registered subscribers reached 7.278 million, representing 48.64% of its 14.964 million total customers.
SIM registration period, which was initially set to expire on April 26, was extended for 90 days until July 25.
Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan John Uy told public in April that this would be last extension of registration of SIMs.
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. approved 90-day extension to allow estimated 20 million more subscribers to register their SIM cards.
Government implemented SIM Registration Act, which was signed into law by FMJ on Oct. 10, 2022, to curb scams through short messaging services (SMS) or text. SIM registration started on Dec. 27, 2022.
Under legislation, all telcos are required to submit verified lists of their authorized dealers and agents to NTC. These lists must be updated quarterly to ensure accurate tracking and regulation of SIM sales and usage.
