In compliance with the National Communications Authority’s directive, MTN Ghana has taken action against 4.8 million subscribers who failed to re-register their SIM cards with the Ghana card.
This move has resulted in a significant 6.3% decrease in the telecom giant’s subscriber base, which now stands at 26.8 million as of the end of 2023.
Earlier this year, MTN Ghana had already blocked 5.4 million SIM cards that were not registered with the Ghana card as of May 31, 2023. However, out of those blocked, 600,000 were successfully re-registered by the subscribers.
The nationwide re-registration of all SIM cards, using the Ghana National ID card, was carried out by the NCA and telecom operators, with the exercise being completed by May 2023. This initiative aims to enhance security and ensure that all mobile phone users in the country are properly identified and registered.
The move by MTN Ghana to block subscribers who have not re-registered their SIM cards underscores the importance of complying with regulatory requirements and maintaining accurate subscriber information. It also serves as a reminder to telecom users across the country to ensure that their SIM cards are properly registered to avoid any inconvenience in the future.
