The major telecommunication networks are encouraging all subscribers who have acquired their Ghana Cards to complete their SIM card registration by Monday, April 17.
Those who have registered more than 10 SIMs have also been directed to visit their nearest mobile network operator “to urgently verify their SIMs on record”.
This follows a directive from the National Communications Authority (NCA) to telecommunication networks to remove subscribers who are yet to register after the March 31 final deadline by Monday, April 17.
A press release issued by the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications noted how its members – AirtelTigo, MTN and Vodafone – have heavily invested in arrangements to ensure that subscribers who have their Ghana Cards and are ready to register do so at several touchpoints set up across the country.
The Chamber, therefore, said it will be complying with the directive of the NCA to completely deactivate all impacted subscriber SIMs “which have not completed the registration by the said date without any further notice or extension of time for subscribers”.
“It is important that the cherished customers of the networks are not barred from using voice, data, USSD, mobile money services and continue to have access to emergency and other important services.
“Subscribers with Ghana cards can avoid this inconvenience by completing stage 2 (the biometric capture) of the registration process.”
