Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have begun blocking unregistered SIM cards since Monday, September 5.

The NCA on Sunday, September 4 released the punitive actions to be taken against unregistered SIM cards.

The ongoing SIM registration exercise is scheduled to end on 30th September 2022.

Persons who fail to register will suffer consequences.

As part of the punitive measures, the NCA said there would be re-routing of all outgoing calls to IVR for a message to be played before all calls go through every day.

Also, outgoing calls and Data Services for a sequential batch of numbers will be blocked for 48 hours (2 days) once a week on a rotational basis.

“Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) shall divide the Unregistered SIMS into five (5) batches for the purpose of implementing this punitive measure.

“These measures shall exclude blocking of SMS to give defaulting subscribers the opportunity to initiate registration if they so wish.
