Mr. Salvahan said there will be continual oversight and adjustment as the SIM registration processes are expected to evolve and adapt to any concerns that may crop up in the future. He noted that it had been “very easy for anyone to use unregistered prepaid SIM cards to commit any cybercrime in the form of scams, harassment, libel, and smishing,” among others.
“We are ready to roll out our SIM registration processes after months of preparations, which have included, among others, studying best global practices and technology solutions from other countries that have already implemented SIM registration,” Francis E. Flores, senior vice-president and head of consumer business group-individual at PLDT Inc.’s Smart, said in a statement.
