Poe: Target 0% text scams and 100% SIM registration

According to Senator Grace Poe on Monday, the dramatic decline in SMS scam complaints that the National Telecommunications Office has noted demonstrates how the public is benefiting from the Republic Act (RA) 11934, also known as the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Registration Law.

Yet Poe highlighted that the telecommunications industry still cannot afford to become complacent (telcos).

The law’s ultimate goal, according to the congressman, is “100% registration and zero text fraud to give our mobile customers a safe and secure environment in using the technology.

“With the deadline set for April 26, the number of successful SIM registrations is just a bit over 25% of the total number of active SIMs,” she continued.

Poe also cautioned that new text frauds can emerge, thus SIM registration efforts should be strengthened.

“There should be no pause in carrying it out. There could be new schemes used by scammers to deceive the public “Added she.

According to the NTC, after the introduction of RA 11934, the number of complaints about text scams fell to 100 from the daily average of 1,500.

Andres Castelar Jr., the officer in charge of the NTC Legal Department, indicated that the decrease is 93.3 percent in value.

Through the NTC’s assistance, SIM registration caravans have traveled to 222 rural locations.

Undersecretary Anna Mae Lamentillo, the spokeswoman for the Department of Information and Communications Technology, urged customers to register as soon as possible “to reduce user traffic and a hassle-free process” as the deadline for SIM registration on April 26 approaches.
