NCA to deactivate unregistered SIM cards today

All unregistered SIM cards would be deleted from the database of telecommunication operators today, Monday, April 17.

This action follows a directive from the National Communications Authority (NCA).

The NCA ordered the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications to ensure that all SIM cards, which have not been re-registered with Ghana cards, in compliance with the March 31, 2023, deadline be removed.

Consequently, all SIM cards registered after the limit of 10 per individual should also be deactivated and removed from all databases.

“The regulator has given timelines, from the perspective of the regulator, these things have been happening previously. We will cooperate with the regulator,” the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications said.
