If you’re a subscriber of GOMO, the digital telco known for its “No Expiry” data, you need to complete this process to keep your number active. The good news? GOMO has made the registration process incredibly straightforward, staying true to its 100% digital and user-friendly brand.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about registering your GOMO SIM.
Why Do I Need to Register My GOMO SIM?
The primary goal of the law is to curb mobile phone-related crimes such as scams, spam texts, and fraud. By verifying the identity of every SIM user, authorities can better track malicious activities, making the digital ecosystem safer for everyone.
For you, the user, failure to register means your GOMO SIM will be deactivated. You will lose access to mobile data, calls, and texts, and you will not be able to use your cherished “No Expiry” data credits. Registration is essential to maintain uninterrupted service.

- Wait for Confirmation: After submission, you will see an on-screen confirmation that your registration has been received. GOMO will then verify your details. You will receive an official SMS confirmation from GOMO once your registration has been successfully approved.
What Happens After Registration?
Once approved, your GOMO number is officially compliant with the law, and your service will continue without interruption. Your personal information is protected by the Data Privacy Act and will be kept confidential by GOMO, used only for the purposes stipulated by the SIM Registration Act.
Troubleshooting and Important Reminders
- Can’t Access the Portal? Ensure you have a stable internet connection. Try using a different browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge) if you encounter issues.
- Didn’t Receive an OTP? Check your signal strength. If you’re in an area with weak signal, try moving to a different location. You can request a new OTP if it expires.
- Registration Rejected? This usually happens if the submitted photos are blurry, the ID is expired, or the information provided does not match the ID. You will need to restart the registration process and ensure all details are accurate and clear.
- Deadline is Key! Do not procrastinate. Ensure you register before the final deadline to avoid automatic deactivation.
