Eight more SM establishments will host Smart and TNT-assisted SIM Registration booths in the next few days, bringing to 44 the total count of covered SM Supermalls. Republic Act (RA) 11934 or the "Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Registration Act" gives all SIM users until April 26, 2023, to register their SIMs under their name. The SIM Registration Act regulates the use of SIM cards to help curb the proliferation of text scams and other mobile phone-aided criminal activities. Smart and its value brand TNT have also deployed assisted SIM Registration booths in 15 far-flung municipalities in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao since last week. This is part of our commitment that our SIM Registration will be inclusive and that no one will be left behind," said Caeg.
