I have learned that a group of people who are having trouble registering their SIMs includes amputees and other people who have some physical issues. To address these, we will speak with the NIA.
With a subject fee of GH5, the self-service sim reregistration app will be made available for download on both Android and IOS in the coming days. Its introduction is not intended to extort money from Ghanaians, but rather to offer more creative and effective solutions to the problem of long lines at network provider offices.
At a news conference on July 31, 2022, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the minister in charge of communications and digitalization, disclosed this. She said that the expertly developed app would perform optimally and achieve great efficiency with the least amount of time and effort wasted. She claims that the app will make it possible for people to comfortably re-register their SIM cards at home. This procedure will go hand in hand with the Mobile Service Providers’ registration activities.
Non-resident Ghanaians who lack the Ghana card can finish the process using their passports, she continued, but they will need to update their information on the Ghana card once they get one to utilize it. The deadline for them to do so is December 2022. I kindly request that they abide by these instructions and get in touch with the NCA if they encounter any unusual difficulties.
Contact the NCA if you are a Ghanaian on an official assignment abroad or a scholarship recipient who is unable to obtain a Ghana card by December. In collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, special arrangements have already been established for diplomatic corps personnel, and they have been informed.
As part of the Self-Service SIM Registration App’s rollout, the minister further stated, there will be public education on its use. The Operators are currently accepting SIM registrations for free charge.
For those who decide to use it, the Self Service app is an option. If nothing unexpected happens, the app will be accessible for download this week on both Android and iOS. There will be a 5 cedi fee added to each registration made through the app.
My understanding is that a group of people who are having trouble registering their SIMs includes people who have had limbs amputated and those who have other physical limitations. In order to solve these, we will talk to the NIA. A last conditional extension to September 30, 2022, was also granted, the minister added, after consulting with the telecom sector and “in view of the obstacles.”
The program will be extended until September 30th to terminate on the anniversary of its start, and I’m being careful how I say this. We will now have a full year of SIM registration; it will be reviewed at the end of this month.
Any SIM that has not fully registered by the end of August will not be able to access certain services, such as voice and data services, and it will also cost more to use an unregistered SIM. At another news conference in September, the full spectrum of sanctions would be revealed “She let everyone know.
The deadline for SIM re-registration must be removed, according to technology analyst Maximus Ametorgoh. He thought there was no need for the deadline.
