Basil: No exception to be given

Minister for Communications, Information Technology and Energy, Sam Basil has reaffirmed the deadline for Sim Card registrations.

He said the deadline is set for this Sunday, December 31st, 2017.

Basil said ample time had been given to users to register and operators to facilitate the registration process.

The Minster said there will be no exception, adding on a personal note that he himself had registered his Sim card.

Sim card registration is a mandatory process, made effective as of July 23, 2016 under the SIM Card Registration Regulation 2016 (Statutory Instrument No.7 of 2016) as published in National Gazette No. G228 dated April 22, 2016.

All active SIM card subscribers and users are urged to visit their nearest mobile sales outlet or contact your service provider to fully register your SIM.

Failure to do so may result in the deactivation of your SIM without notice.
