Total telecommunications solutions provider, Globacom, has resumed activations of Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in select Gloworld shops across the country in compliance with new directives from the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC).
Globacom revealed in a press statement that this is consequent upon the lifting of the embargo on activations of new SIM cards and replacement of lost or damaged ones which the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy announced last December.
Both existing and prospective Glo subscribers will now enjoy the opportunity to activate new SIMs or replace lost/damaged ones on provision of a valid National Identification Number (NIN) which is the new guideline given by NCC.
The company recently upgraded its outlets across the country with facilities to enable its customers register for their NIN and link same to their SIMs in a convenient manner and in accordance with the directive outlined by NCC.
Globacom also unveiled Appointment Manager, an app which enabled subscribers to register for NIN by choosing a day, time, and Gloworld outlet convenient for them to visit for the process.
Referring to its readiness for subscribers to avail themselves of the new directive, Glo said, “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”.
The data grandmasters added 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“.
