The National Communications Authority has disclose it today that , all existing subscribers will have to register their SIMs via USSD and a sim registration App.

Barring any unforeseen eventualities, SIM Registration will begin on 1st October, 2021 for a six (6) month period and end on 31st March, 2022.

Any sim which is not registered at the end of this exercise will be blocked.
Individuals can register a total number of 10 SIM Cards across all networks and Foreigners will have a limit of 3 SIM Cards across all networks.

Madam Ursula also caution that people should not think that they can hide behind Businesses and register as many SIM Cards as they want.
And that, All SIM Cards registered to a Business will be linked to a Shareholder or Director of the Business and if a Business SIM Card is found to have been engaged in a fraudulent activity, the Shareholder or Director will be held liable.

The Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation will launch the National SIM Card Registration Exercise across the country next month.

Only the National Identity Card (Ghana Card) issued to an individual shall be used for registration of SIM cards of Citizens.

Foreign Residents and Foreigners staying in Ghana for more than 90 days, will have only three sim cards across all networks.

In the case of foreigners staying in Ghana for less than 90 days, a valid passport or other traveling documents will be used.

SIM registration, when undertaken correctly as NCA intend to do, will 8reduce or eliminate fraudulent and criminal activities, help authorities ascertain the accurate number of valid and accurate SIMs on the networks, enable operators to build better demographics of their customer base and help them develop products and services to suit the various groupings.

The Regulator, NCA, will also get more accurate data to regulate the industry even better.

Thanks for Reading.
