According to the SIM Registration Act (R.A. 11934), all new DITO SIM cards must be registered immediately to be activated for use. For existing subscribers during the initial implementation, the law provided a 180-day window to register, which was later extended until the final deadline of July 25, 2023. Currently, if you purchase a new SIM, it remains inactive until you complete the registration process through the DITO app or website. If a SIM is deactivated due to non-registration, users typically have a 5-day grace period to register and reactivate it before the number is permanently retired.Tourists, however, are subject to a different rule where their registered SIM is valid only for 30 days unless an approved visa extension is provided.
