Republic Act 11934 or the “SIM Registration Act” mandates all subscribers of SIM-based services, both new and existing, to register their SIM cards with their current telco provider.
The SIM Registration Act aims to protect all users from any SIM, internet or electronic communication-aided crimes such as, but not limited to terrorism, scams, unsolicited, indecent or obscene messages, bank fraud, libel, anonymous online defamation, trolling, hate speech and spread of digital disinformation or fake news.
