GOMO SIM Registration: A Simple Guide to Staying Connected

In the Philippines, the SIM Registration Act (Republic Act No. 11934) is now fully in effect. This law is a crucial national initiative designed to protect everyone from mobile-related scams, spam messages, and other forms of electronic fraud. If you’re a GOMO user, you might be wondering what this means for you and your beloved “no expiry” data.

The bottom line is simple: registering your GOMO SIM is mandatory to keep your service active. But don’t worry—the process is quick, straightforward, and can be done entirely from your phone. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

Why Do I Need to Register My GOMO SIM?

The primary goal of the law is to promote accountability and security in the digital space. By linking a SIM card to a verified identity, it becomes much harder for criminals to use anonymous numbers for illegal activities. For you, the legitimate user, this means:

• Enhanced Security: Reduced exposure to phishing texts, smishing scams, and fraudulent calls.
• Service Continuity: Only registered SIMs will remain active. An unregistered SIM will eventually be deactivated, meaning you’ll lose your number and any remaining data.
• A Safer Digital Environment: Contributing to a more secure mobile ecosystem for all Filipinos.

Who Needs to Register?

• All existing GOMO subscribers who activated their SIM before the law’s implementation.
• Every new GOMO user purchasing a SIM from now on.

Registration is free of charge. Be wary of anyone offering “paid registration” services—it’s a scam.

What Do You Need to Prepare?

Before you start the registration process, have the following ready:

1. Your GOMO SIM Card: You’ll need the SIM serial number (19-digit number found on the SIM card itself or its packaging).
2. A Valid Government-Issued ID: Choose from a wide range of accepted IDs, such as:
   • Passport
   • Philippine Identification (PhilID)/National ID
   • Driver’s License
   • SSS/GSIS UMID Card
   • PRC ID
   • etc. (The GOMO registration portal provides a full list).
3. A Selfie: A clear photo of yourself holding your chosen ID.
4. A Stable Internet Connection: The process is online, so make sure you’re connected via Wi-Fi or mobile data.

3. Verify Your Number: You will receive a One-Time PIN (OTP) via SMS. Enter this OTP on the website to proceed.

1. Fill in Your Personal Information: Carefully input the required details:
   • Full Name
   • Date of Birth
   • Gender
   • Address (Philippine address is required)
   • The 19-digit SIM Serial Number
2. Upload Your Documents:
   • Photo of your ID: Take a clear, well-lit picture of the front of your chosen government ID.
   • Selfie with your ID: Take a selfie where you are holding the ID next to your face. Ensure both your face and the ID details are clear and readable.

2. Review and Submit: Double-check all the information you’ve entered for accuracy. Once you’re sure everything is correct, tick the box to agree to the terms and conditions and hit the “Submit” button.
3. Wait for Confirmation: After submission, you will receive an SMS confirmation from GOMO stating that your registration has been received and is under review. The review process typically takes a short time.

What About New GOMO SIMs?

For new users, the process is similar. You are required to register your new GOMO SIM immediately after purchase before you can activate it for calls, texts, and data.

What Happens If I Don’t Register?

Failure to register your GOMO SIM within the designated deadline (as announced by the government) will result in the automatic deactivation of your number. This means:

• You will be unable to make calls, send SMS, or use mobile data.
• You will lose access to your GOMO number permanently.
• Any remaining “no expiry” data credits will be forfeited.

Final Reminders

• Beware of Scams: GOMO will only communicate through official channels. They will never ask for your OTP or password via SMS or call.
• Keep Your Information Updated: If your personal details (like your address) change, you are required to update your information in the SIM registry.
• Register Early: Don’t wait until the last minute. Avoid the rush and potential system congestion by registering as soon as possible.

Registering your GOMO SIM is a small but vital step towards a safer online experience. It takes just a few minutes but ensures you can continue enjoying the seamless, data-focused service that GOMO is known for. Protect your number, your data, and yourself—register today!
