A New Directive On Punitive Actions For Unregistered Sim Cards.
In order to protect consumers and eliminate the distribution of fraudulent SIM cards, a new directive has been established to protect both consumers and businesses from unregistered SIM cards.
Recently, the Ghana government passed this new directive on punitive actions for unregistered SIM cards, which will go into effect on September 5th of this year and apply to all businesses and individuals in Ghana.
The National Communications Authority’s document states that one of the initial disciplinary actions will involve rerouting outgoing calls so that special messages can be broadcast.
Additionally, some numbers will be restricted from receiving special messages for 48 hours.
Who does this directive apply to?
The Directive on Punitive Actions for Unregistered SIM cards is issued to all members of the Resistance.
1) This directive comes into effect from 05/9/2022.
2) All violations will be considered, including the use of phones with unregistered sim cards or using more than one sim card per phone, and punishment will be in accordance with NCA law (Ghana).
3) Violators will have their mobile line disconnected and their connection speed reduced.
What are the penalties for violating this directive?
If you are found to be in violation of this directive, the penalties range from a fine to imprisonment. The severity of the penalty will depend on your location and how long your unregistered sim card has been active.
