After the SIM Registration Act, it is impossible to use a SIM without registration. Users must register their SIM cards, and if any user violates the SIM registration act/they will face different penalties. These penalties are:
- If the individual steals the SIM or if the individual provides wrong information and IDs for registration, then the individual has to face 6 months to 2 years in jail or up to ₱300,000 in fines.

What is the SIM Registration Act (SRA) in the Philippines
The SIM registration Republic Act No. 11934, known as the SIM card law in the Philippines, requires individuals to register their SIMs to access SIM services, such as calls. By registering the SIM, your mobile security has increased, and it also minimizes the threat of being scammed.
