“By 12:01 po ng April 27, lahat po ng unregistered SIM cards is wala na po sa market. We will automatically deactivate it,” she said.

The official added that there is no final decision yet on a possible extension of the SIM card registration period.

A law required the registration of all active SIMs to help eliminate SMS-linked scams, among others.
