Minister of Communications, Fahmi Fadzil today shared that SIM card registration for prepaid lines will use MyDigital ID, effective at the end of 2025. The use of MyDigital ID will also improve and speed up the registration process compared to the manual use of MyKad.
The Minister said this implementation will be implemented by November or December 2025.
Not only that, the government will also evaluate aspects involving SIM cards, including the number of SIM cards that a user can register. According to the minister, today, a person can register up to 5 SIM cards with one telecommunications company. Roughly, with 12 telecommunications companies, it allows users to register up to 60 SIM cards. However, this is also expected to be abused or make users vulnerable to fraud and identity misuse. The government is examining and evaluating aspects related to this matter.
