In compliance with the SIM Registration Law, mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has launched its online SIM Registration portal at\u00a0http:\/\/www.smart.com.ph\/simreg<\/a>\u00a0to facilitate an easy, safe, and rewarding SIM Registration experience for subscribers starting today, Dec. 27.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Prepaid and TNT subscribers can now register their SIM and get 3 GB FREE data upon completing these three easy steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022          Step 1. Visit the portal at http:\/\/www.smart.com.ph\/simreg<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022          Step 2. Input your information and upload your valid ID <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022          Step 3. Wait for an SMS confirmation and get 3 GB FREE Data<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart\u2019s SIM registration portal uses optical character recognition (OCR), the technology required by the law to efficiently gather and protect subscribers\u2019 personal information throughout the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart is also making its SIM Registration portal even more accessible to subscribers through these alternative channels: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022          Smart Stores nationwide<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022          Smart Hotlines (call *888 via Smart\/TNT mobile, or 8888-1111 via landline)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Postpaid subscribers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, in compliance with the law, Smart is making SIM Registration more convenient for postpaid subscribers, who simply need to confirm the personal information and IDs they submitted for their postpaid plan application. To do this confirmation, subscribers just need to text YES to 5858. They shall then receive a confirmation message from Smart upon successful SIM Registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Smart Bro subscribers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, to register the SIM inserted in their WiFi device, Smart Bro subscribers need to refer to  www.smart.com.ph\/viewbroadbandsms<\/a> for instructions on viewing their required One-Time Password (OTP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By registering promptly, subscribers can continue enjoying the fastest speeds and widest coverage of Smart, the Philippines\u2019 Best Mobile Network as recognized by Ookla, the global leader in mobile and broadband intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart bagged the prestigious award after dominating in two crucial Ookla Speedtest Awards categories, namely \u201cFastest Mobile Network\u201d and \u201cBest Mobile Coverage,\u201d in Q1-Q2 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safeguarding subscribers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch of Smart\u2019s SIM Registration portal is in line with the SIM Registration Act, which aims to curb the proliferation of text scams and other mobile phone-aided criminal activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside their support for SIM registration, Smart and parent company PLDT’s long-standing consumer protection initiatives include blocking SIMs that send \u2018smishing\u2019 messages and Uniform Resource Locators (URL) or links that lead to illegal activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, PLDT and Smart invested nearly \u20b13 billion in cybersecurity infrastructure to help safeguard the public against emerging cyberthreats, vulnerabilities, and other online criminal activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
