TM SIM Registration

TM SIM registration is mandatory for all users, including both prepaid and postpaid subscribers. A SIM card will remain in a default deactivated state and cannot be activated without completing the registration process.

Only after successful registration will the SIM be activated and allowed to access mobile services. The entire SIM registration process is completely free of charge for all users.

The SIM Registration Act also covers eSIMs, allows multiple SIM ownership with separate registration, ensures free registration, protects user data privacy, and requires telecom providers to deactivate fraudulent or unregistered SIMs while maintaining strict security and reporting standards.
