MTN Ghana urges customers to register and confirm SIMS
MTN Ghana has reminded its customers across the
country to register their voice and data SIM
cards.

Customers are to send a blank text to the short
code 400 to confirm their registration status. The
400 short code will respond with one of three
messages: it will confirm if a customer’s SIM card
is registered or not registered, or advise if
confirmation of the customer’s registration is
still pending.

A statement issued by the company asked any
customer yet to register or whose registration is
still pending to visit the nearest MTN office with
a valid photo ID to complete their registration
before 2nd March 2012.

Valid ID’s include Voter ID cards, National Health
Insurance ID, Passport, National ID, and Driver’s
License.

“MTN also wishes to state that the registration
directive applies to all SIM cards in use both for
voice and data enabled devices. These include SIMs
used in mobile phones, laptops, modems, dongles,
and tablets, Point of Sale devices, as well as
SIMs implanted in car-tracking devices.”

The statement signed by the Corporate Services
Executive of MTN Ghana, Mrs. Cynthia Lumor said,
“as prescribed by law it is now legally mandatory
for all SIM cards to be registered. MTN has over
the years demonstrated its commitment to the
compliance of all regulatory requirements, and we
wish to appeal to our customers to take this
requirement to register their SIM cards very
seriously.”
