Sim Registration law

[uls]

kaya nag emergency alert ang telecom

dahil emergency yan para sa kanila

they can't deactivate half their users coz their income will take a massive hit

i'm sure they lobbied the gov't to extend the grace period

[uls]

kung 90% registered the telecoms won't have problem deactivating 10%

pero 50% is a lot

[xninjax]

yespo, i heard.
personally, i am not in favor of extension.
what will these still-not-registereds do in the next 3 months, that they refused to do 4 months ago?

GOMO just rolled out their SIM registration last week. Way too late

if there are 120 million simcards in PH and half of them are deactivated, those telecoms lose a lot of income from load

this is how i see it:
"we will de-activate your old sim cards. you will have to buy new, properly-registered ones, which you will have to load up, just like the old sim cards that we de-activated."

ka-cheeng!

yespo.
i was waiting for the prompt, just like what smart did, some time ago.
anyway, i googled earlier today.
finished everything in a few minutes.
the difficult part was the last part: "submit."
the instructions were, to repeat pressing the "submit" button. it took less than a dozen repeat presses for me.
and to assuage my doubt, they sent me a text message, congratulating my success at registration.

they can always purcha$e new $im cards when their old, non-registered ones, drop dead.

if they are in-frequent users naman, then the telcos do not stand to lose much from discontinuing their (rare-) patronage.
kumita pa nga nang kaunti, kung bibili sila nang bagong sim cards.

I think the problem is those from far flung areas. Sa news may lolo na may dumb phone, we have a lot of seniors that can't navigate a smartphone so they are using dumb phone.

The QC city hall just opened a help center for sim registration, few days before the deadline. Also gomo just started their registration few days before the deadline. Andyan din yung mga nag procrastinate.

Pero 3 months is too long. It removes the sense of urgency, especially to procrastinators. Siguro 30 days would have been enough.

majority of prepaid users keep the same number for years (prepaid sims don't get deactivated if you load regularly -- which is what most prepaid users do)

konte lang ung palit nang palit ng sim

mas hassle pa ung madeactivate ang sim dahil sa katamaran mag register

tapos bibili ng bagong sim which will have to be registered parin

might as well register the existing sim

No need to deactivate the unregistered sim if they have a "purgatory" for unregistered sim. Much like when you buy a new sim, you can't load that new sim, you can't send on that new sim, but you can receive sms on that new sim. So you can receive otp on the new sim and register it, then it will be activated. They can demote the existing unregistered sim to that state.

[uls]

if telecoms currently make 1 billion per day and half the sims are deactivated by law, imagine how much they lose

kaya emergency alert

hindi emergency sa users

emergency para sa telecom

no wonder na-extend

tax revenue loss din para sa gobyerno

[shadow]

Parang tanga lang nag extend pa. Ganun pa rin yan pag malapit na deadline madami pa rin mag reklamo na hinde pa sila naka register.

Hayaan na mawalang ng sim card mgs engot.
