Communication Technology ministry urges the public to register their Subscriber Identity Module cards

The Information and Communication Technology ministry is urging the public to register their Subscriber Identity Module cards before the deadline of 31 December 2023.  The ministry says any SIM cards not registered by this cut-off date will be disconnected. adding that despite the critical timeframe provided for this critical process, there has been a low public response to this imperative. MICT firmly reiterates that there will be no extension granted beyond the specified date of 31 December 2023. According to the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia, as of 15 June 2023, under 800 thousand out of the close to 3 million subscribers, constituting a mere 29 per cent, have registered their SIM card.
