The Philippine government has urgently called on citizens to register their SIM cards before the July 25 deadline to avoid losing access to mobile services. The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) emphasized the need for registration to continue using call, text, and mobile data services. They encouraged using the eGovPH super app for convenient registration, launched by President Marcos, which offers access to various government services. Failure to register before the deadline may lead to deactivation of mobile numbers starting July 26, with users having a five-day window for reactivation; otherwise, the telco provider will permanently shut down the mobile number.
