THE 90-day extension for SIM registration will give implementors and SIM subscribers time to address problem of sourcing required identification and other issues, a leader of the House of Representatives said Wednesday, a day after President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. approved the recommendation of the Department of Information and Communications Technology and telecommunications companies to extend the deadline beyond April 26.
“The 90 days leeway should not mean another excuse for SIM subscribers to wait until the last few days of the extension before they register. SIM subscribers must realize that their SIM phone numbers are means of identification and access to essential services as the country becomes more digital,” stressed Co, who is also president of the Party-list Coalition Foundation Inc.
Assistance must be given, he added, “especially to senior citizens who are unfamiliar with technical matters, persons with disability and persons with special needs who have inherent handicaps making them unable to follow online instructions, and solo parents and working parents who are hard-pressed to set aside hours to fall in line at service desks and kiosks.”
