A ranking congressman is prodding local government units to set up Subscriber Identity Module registration areas in places with there is limited Internet access.
“We are glad that following the initial hitches that marred the Dec. 27 kick-off by the PTEs of the SIM registration process as set by law, the sign-up has lately been proceeding rather smoothly, with the number of registrants exceeding 21 million as of last count,” said Villafuerte, majority leader of the powerful Commission on Appointments .
“One way to accelerate the registration process is for local executives to help the PTEs, DITC, NTC and other concerned sectors establish off-site centers where people can sign up, especially in places with limited Internet or telecommunication access,” Villafuerte, also a former Camarines Sur governor, added.
“It will be easier for the authorities or PTEs to trace persons behind text scams and hold them accountable for breach of privacy along with [mobile] phone-based fraud and other punishable offenses they are able to perpetrate by using unknown or unregistered mobile phone numbers,” the solon pointed out.
