Even our GOMO SIMs are required to be registered, GOMO fam! This detailed easy step-by-step guide for GOMO SIM registration is for you.
The current SIM Registration Act in the Philippines requires ALL SIM cards – old and new – to be registered before they are able to be activated and used. This includes the GOMO SIM we use for our daily/monthly internet access, that is why we also have to register every GOMO SIM we purchase and use.
If you don’t, you risk losing your SIM service or even receive legal consequences. This procedure can be completed in a few minutes, GOMO fam, and it is certainly going to keep the Philippines’ communications environment safe and secure for all users.
