"We partnered with Robinsons Malls to make SIM registration easier for our customers, especially for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, those using non-data phones, and other mobile users who may need help in registering their SIMs," PLDT and Smart SVP and head of the Consumer Sales Group Alex O. Caeg announced Saturday, February 18.
"We encourage our subscribers to register now so we can help prevent phone scams and fraud and fight online predators," he added.
"This partnership with Smart strengthens our commitment by making the SIM registration service more convenient and safe for all our customers," remarked Robinsons Malls VP for Operations, Marketing, and Business Development Joel Lumanlan.
"It also allows us to jointly support the government’s efforts to accelerate registration and protect mobile phone users.”
The collaboration with Robinsons Malls is among the many deployments of Smart’s assisted SIM registration services nationwide.
Smart has been rolling out assisted SIM Registration booths all over the Philippines in close collaboration with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT), the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), the inter-agency committee on remote areas registration, other public telecommunications entities, and other partners.
New and existing Smart Prepaid and TNT subscribers may also visit PLDT and Smart stores, or access Smart’s SIM registration portal through https://www.smart.com.ph/simreg.
Postpaid users can simply text YES to 5858, while Enterprise customers can confirm their registration through their authorized representatives.
SIM users have until April 26, 2023, to register their SIMs under their name, or risk deactivation of their SIM.
