Common Questions

What happens if I don't register my TM SIM?

Unregistered SIMs will be deactivated after the deadline. You won't be able to text, call, or use mobile data. All TM promos and load balance will also be lost. Once deactivated, reactivation is not guaranteed.

What is the deadline for TM SIM registration?

The original deadline was April 26, 2023. TM and other telcos extended it several times. As of now, all new SIMs must be registered before activation. For old SIMs, register immediately if you haven't yet. TM may deactivate unregistered SIMs without further notice.

What if I don't receive the OTP?

Try again in a few minutes. Make sure you have signal and mobile data enabled. If the problem persists, you may need to visit a Globe store for assistance.

What should I do after registering?

Once registered, you'll receive a confirmation SMS. Keep that message or take a screenshot. You can continue using your SIM without interruption. You might also qualify for TM promos and rewards. Check the GlobeOne app for updates and special offers.
