Unregistered SIM cards and those that have not been fully registered would be deactivated on November 30, 2022, according to Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Minister of Communications and Digitalization.
SIM cards that have been linked to Ghana Cards but have not yet completed the second step of registration will be completely disabled on Wednesday, November 30, 2022.
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the minister of communications and digitalization, disclosed this in a statement issued on Friday, November 11.
She indicated that a statement would be issued on the processes that would be taken to allow people who do not have Ghana cards to register their SIM cards. This is expected to happen after ongoing discussions are completed, she said.
“One key reason why some of those who have linked phone numbers to Ghana Cards have been unable to complete the bio capture of stage two is because they used other people’s cards to link their numbers. This includes vendors who used the cards of others without the knowledge or consent of the card owners.”
“Their inability to complete phase two attests to the robustness of the authentication process designed into the SIM registration architecture. It will flush out all fakes. You cannot use someone else’s Ghana Card to register your SIM.”
According to the Communication Minister, Ursula Owusu, unregistered SIM cards are set to be deactivated on November 30.
