Subscribers whose lines will have been deactivated, still have a chance to re-register after the October 15, 2022 deadline.
However, the process will have to be longer, compared to what is required to re-register.
The Communication Authority of Kenya on Friday clarified that SIM registration is a continuous process despite Saturday’s deadline.
“Operators are not going to stop the exercise because of the October 15 deadline. We expect them to continue with the process,” said CA's Liston Kirui.
Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom had set Saturday, October 15, 2022, as the deadline for SIM card registration.
This comes after the Communication Authority (CA) on April 14, extended the SIM registration deadline to October 15, 2022, to allow more time for network operators and subscribers to comply with the directive.
The regulator had earlier set a deadline of April 15 for the exercise.
Subscribers who will not have registered their lines with their respective service providers tomorrow will face disconnection.
As a precondition of the registration, subscribers must submit to have their photographs taken, processed and retained.
They must also provide a signature and disclose whether they have other lines registered to them, failure to which, their unregistered cards will be switched off.
