Host (Mish Kristana):Welcome to The Digital Connect Show! I’m your host, Mish Kristana, and today we’ll discuss Smart SIM Registration in 2025—why it’s essential and how to do it online and offline. Joining us is Talha Tariq, a Telecom Expert & Digital Security Consultant. Welcome, Talha!

Guest (Talha Tariq):Thanks, Mish! SIM registration helps prevent fraud and ensures security by linking a valid ID to each SIM.

Host:How can users register their Smart SIMs in 2025?

Guest:There are two main ways:

Online via Smart’s Official Website: Visit https://smartsimregistrationsph.ph/, enter SIM details, upload a valid ID, take a selfie, and submit. You’ll receive confirmation via SMS or email.

Smart GigaLife App: Download the app, follow the same steps, and register seamlessly.

Host:And for those who prefer offline registration?

Guest:Visit Smart Stores & Partner Retailers with your ID and SIM. Seniors and PWDs can get assistance through Smart’s dedicated hotline.

Host:Are there extra requirements for foreigners, minors, or businesses?

Guest:Yes.

Foreigners: Need passport, visa, and proof of residence. Prepaid SIMs are valid for 30 days, renewable.

Minors: Must register under a parent or guardian with proof of guardianship.

Businesses: Require a business registration certificate, corporate ID, and authorization letter.

Host:How can users confirm their SIM is registered?

Guest:Check via Smart’s web portal, GigaLife App, or contact customer service. If incomplete, Smart sends SMS reminders. For full details, visit https://smartsimregistrationsph.ph/.

Guest:

Invalid ID Upload – Ensure ID is clear & readable.

Selfie Verification Fails – Take a well-lit selfie.
