The National Communications Authority (NCA) has listed some punitive measures against unregistered sim cards beginning September 5, 2022.
However, unregistered sim cards will be blocked totally after September 30, 2022, a statement from the NCA has warned.
It explained that, “Outgoing calls and Data Services for a sequential batch of numbers blocked for ‘48 hours (2 days) once a week on ‘ rotational basis.”
The NCA also said Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) shall divide the Unregistered SIMs into five (5) batches for the purpose of implementing the above punitive measure.
These measures, NCA explained shall exclude blocking of SMS to give defaulting subscribers the opportunity to initiate registration if they so wish.
“Subscribers who fully register their SIM Cards within the period they have been blocked will only be unblocked by the MNOs after the 48 hours to avoid the MNOs tampering with their systems intermittently,” NCA added.
