The SIM Registration Act (Republic Act No. 11934) is a law in the Philippines that mandates all SIM card users to register their SIMs to combat text scams, fraud, and other cybercrimes. For all existing and new TM subscribers, this means you need to register your SIM card to keep it active and continue using its services for calls, texts, and mobile data.
Fortunately, the process is straightforward and can be completed online. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to register your TM SIM card.

Important Reminders
Minors: If the SIM card is for a minor, it must be registered under the name of the parent or legal guardian.
Postpaid Subscribers: If you are a postpaid user, your SIM is likely already registered. However, it is a good idea to confirm your registration details through the GlobeOne app or the official website.
No Internet Access? If you don't have internet access, you can visit a Globe Store or assisted registration sites to get help from a representative.
It's Free: The SIM registration process is absolutely free. Do not pay anyone who asks for a fee to register your SIM.
Beware of Scams: Be cautious of phishing attempts. Only use the official Globe SIM registration portal and do not click on suspicious links from unknown senders.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure your TM SIM card remains active and you stay compliant with the law, enjoying a safer and more secure mobile experience.
