The last day to register one&rsquo;s SIM Card is set for Tuesday, July 25.
&ldquo;May extension ba ang SIM Card registration? Wala po. Walang extension. July 25 is a hard deadline,&rdquo;&nbsp; DICT Secretary Ivan Uy told reporters in an interview last July 21.
He urged those &ldquo;hard-headed&rdquo; mobile users to register their SIMs, noting that unregistered SIMs will be automatically deactivated by 12:01 AM on July 26.
Uy then warned the public against scammers who are now transferring to other platforms.
&ldquo;I need to warn the public to be vigilant dahil ang scammers ay walang pinipiling resources, lahat po ay ginagamit nila para makapang loko,&rdquo; he stressed.
