Mandatory registration limiting SIM card sales

SALES of new subscriber information modules (SIMs) have fallen in the wake of the implementation of mandatory registrations, Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan Uy claimed on Tuesday.

"Since nag-announce tayo nito, bumagsak ang bentahan ng SIM cards dahil dati itong mga scammers, itong mga sindikato, bili nang bili ng SIM card tapos tapon (Since we announced the law's implementation, sales of SIM cards fell from before when scammers and syndicates would buy and buy, and then dispose of them)," Uy said.
