Hi everyone,

I recently started using a 4G/5G MiFi router and was wondering about SIM card registration requirements, particularly in the Philippines. From what I’ve heard, all SIM cards need to be registered to avoid disconnection, but I’m not sure how this applies when using them in routers or MiFi devices.

Some questions I have:

1. Does the registration process differ for SIM cards used in Wi-Fi routers?
2. Are there specific documents required for foreign users?
3. Can the SIM card be registered online, or do I need to visit a store?

I found a helpful guide that covers Sim Card Registration, but I’d also love to hear your experiences and advice here. Let’s discuss to ensure our devices stay connected!

 

Great questions! SIM card registration in the Philippines is indeed crucial to ensure uninterrupted connectivity, even when using them in devices like MiFi routers. Let me address your queries:

1. Does the registration process differ for SIM cards used in Wi-Fi routers?
   No, the process is generally the same as for regular mobile SIM cards. The registration is linked to the SIM card itself, not the device it’s used in.

2. Are there specific documents required for foreign users?
   Yes, foreign users typically need to present a passport, visa, or other government-issued ID, depending on the telecom provider's requirements.

3. Can the SIM card be registered online, or do I need to visit a store?
   Most providers offer online registration for convenience, but some may require in-person visits for identity verification, especially for foreign users.
