The mobile wallet made the announcement after the government approved the 90-day extension of the SIM registration period, which was set to expire on April 26.

GCash said Globe and TM subscriber who are also users of the mobile wallet app will “receive a prompt to register their SIMs and they just need to follow the instructions.”

Once successful they will get free 1GB of data which they can use right away, it said.

By registering their SIMs, customers will avoid SIM deactivation and have uninterrupted access to their e-wallet accounts, it added.

GCash said customers who fail to register their SIMs that are linked to their accounts can still access their funds by requesting a transfer to a new registered mobile number from the GCash Help Center.

The process, however, will take several days, it said.

“That’s why we encourage SIM users with GCash wallets to register their SIMs before the deadline to avoid this inconvenience. We remind our customers to register their SIMs only with the GCash app or through the official portals of their respective telco providers,” said GCash president and CEO Martha Sazon.

GCash said it will never ask its customers to share their one-time password, MPIN (mobile personal identification number), or other sensitive information.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
