Registered SIMs have breached the 100 million mark this month, according to the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) on Thursday.

A total of 100,048,884 SIMs were registered as of June 20, 2023, which accounts for 59.55% of the total subscriber base of 168,016,400.

Smart already has 47.272 million registered SIMs, followed by Globe with 45.868 million and DITO Telecommunity with 6.908 million.

The extended registration period will end on July 25.

Non-registration will result in the deactivation of SIMs and eSIMs, barring individuals from receiving and sending calls and text messages and accessing mobile applications and digital wallets, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) said in April.
