 MANILA, Philippines — SIM card registration assistance services will be made available at retail and service outlets of telecommunications firms, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) said on Wednesday after glitches and other difficulties marred the first day of registration on Tuesday.

“Yung mga assisted registration po, pwede sila magpunta—mga registering subscribers—pupunta sa mga stores o branches ng mga telcos. May mga personnel sila doon na pwede pong tumulong sa mga kababayan na gusto po magparehistro,” said NTC Deputy Commissioner Jon Paulo Salvahan on TeleRadyo. 

 (For assisted registration, subscribers visit the stores or branches of telcos. They have personnel that can help our countrymen who want to register). 

According to Salvahan, DITO Telecommunity has already set up an in-store assistance service, while Globe Telecom Inc. is scheduled to start this service in February 2023.
