TM SIM Card Registration for the SIM Card Registration Act

How to Register your TM SIM in the Philippines for the SIM Card Registration Act Online

Step 1: Visit the Official TM Website

Additionally, the TM registration page is the same website used for Globe subscribers.

Note: If you encounter any issues, stand by or bookmark the link for easy and quick access when the registration page is back online or visit during low-traffic hours (e.g., early morning).



Step 2: Enter Your Number

Input your 10-digit mobile number, then click the “Register” button.

For this step, prepare your 10-digit mobile number (ex. 9173456780) before registration. 

Step 3: Receive Your One-Time Password (OTP)

Wait for your mobile phone’s One-Time Password (OTP) text message.

Be on standby since the OTP expires in five minutes. If this happens, you have to request for another one, which may take more time.



Step 4: Input the OTP

Enter the OTP sent to your phone on the registration page.

The OTP helps validate your registration, allowing you to proceed to the next step.
