📋 Tender Overview
The recommendation of the Department of Information and Communications Technology DICT for the 90-day extension of SIM Card Registration was approved by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. during the Sectoral Meeting on April 25 2023.The said extension is the last chance for telco subscribers to register their SIM Cards because the Republic Act 11934 or the SIM Card Registration Law clearly states that the DICT may only extend the registration for a period not exceeding one hundred twenty 120 days.The DICT and the Telecommunication Companies are also exploring options to incentivize SIM Card Registration. One of the said options is the gradual reduction of services. For a certain period during the 90-day extension the Telcos will deactivate some services such as access to social media accounts who have not yet registered their SIM cards. After the 90-day period unregistered SIM subscribers will lose completely all services to their SIM card.
