Following the plea of the National
Association of Telecommunications Subscribers (NATCOMS) and Association of
Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), the industry
regulator, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) may have granted
deactivated subscribers over the non-registration of their SIM cards another
window to make amend.
This is coming as NATCOMS urged
subscribers affected by the deactivation process to take advantage of this new
window.
Speaking to ITRealms,
Monday, NATCOMS president, Chief Deolu Ogunbanjo noted that the appeals by both
NATCOMS and ALTON to NCC and Ministry of Communication Technology must have
paved the way to the latest ground of NCC.
Ogunbanjo also pointed out that on
Saturday, July 6, 2013, he was on NTA Network Live Interview with Tony Ojobo of
NCC a new SIM Card Registration window for subscribers opened for those affected
by deactivation of their SIM cards.
According to him, the NCC latest window is
now the only opportunity for disconnected subscribers in Nigeria to have their SIM
Cards registered re-activation.
Subscribers whose’ SIM Cards have been
deactivated, he said, are advised to go to the nearest Customer Care Centre of
their network operator for registration and subsequent re-activation.
Already, he emphasized, Communications
Service Providers (CSP’s) are encouraging disconnected subscribers to come and
register their SIM Cards and get between N5,000 and N10,000 as re-activation bonus
for on-net calls.
