Telecommunications giant, Globacom, has announced the recommencement of Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) activations in select retail outlets in Nigeria.
The company disclosed in a recent press statement that this is sequel to the lifting of the erstwhile embargo placed on activations of new SIM cards and replacement of lost ones which the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy had announced last December with strict enforcement by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
According to the network provider, both existing and prospective Glo subscribers will now enjoy the opportunity to activate a new SIM or replace lost/damaged SIM on provision of a valid National Identification Number (NIN) which is the new guideline given by NCC.
Said Glo, “For us, the needs of our customers come first. We are keenly aware of the difficulty the ban had on our existing and prospective subscribers while it lasted and look forward to the respite they will have with the recommencement of SIM activations”.
Globacom further explained that, “We have already commenced SIM registration and activations in line with the announced guidelines of NCC. All our esteemed customers have to do is to visit the GLO SIM Activation outlet closest to them. A full list of our Glo SIM Activation outlets can be found at www.gloworld.com/ng/sim“.
The total telecommunications solutions provider recently upgraded its outlets across the country with facilities to enable Glo subscribers to register for their NIN and link same to their SIMs in a seamless manner and in tandem with stipulated directive by NCC.
The company equally rolled out an application known as Appointment Manager, which enabled subscribers to register for NIN by choosing a day, time, and Gloworld outlet convenient for them to visit for the process.
