TNT’s clever and creative video for SIM Registration goes viral

TNT releases online video as their clever and creative way of reminding subscribers to register their SIM before the April 26 deadline.

Think missing the SIM registration deadline is no big deal? Think again.

Mobile brand TNT’s new online video takes viewers on a thrilling ride to show just what might happen if you fail to register your SIM before the April 26 deadline.

In the witty and catchy ad, which has gone viral with over 14 million views on TikTok and 8 million views on YouTube in just two days, what starts as a cozy night for a family quickly turns into a nightmare when a stranger appears at their door.

The tension mounts as the son cautiously opens the door to a woman who identifies herself as  ā€œ09854980233″. The father’s suspicion kicks in, accusing the stranger of being a scammer and urging her to leave. But as the woman persists, the family barricades themselves inside, terrified of what might happen next.

Unable to prove her identity, the woman is found alone and rain-drenched on the sidewalk, despite the fact that she is the family’s actual mother. Watch the video below:

ā€˜Mag-SIM Reg Para Hindi SIM Deadā€™ 

The momā€™s identity in the TNT video represents her SIM, which she had failed to register and was therefore permanently deactivated. Although delivered in a funny way, TNT sends a strong message about the importance of registering oneā€™s SIM to avoid permanent deactivation and all its hassles. 

With your SIM being permanently deactivated, you wonā€™t be able to receive one-time passwords (OTPs) for your banking apps or mobile wallets, and therefore wonā€™t be able to access or use your savings and wallet credits. You also wonā€™t be able to access all the apps linked to your mobile number like your social media apps, messaging apps, and delivery apps, or recover a forgotten password linked to your mobile number.Ā 

“As the April 26 deadline for SIM registration approaches, we want to remind our customers of the critical need to register their SIM. Failure to do so will lead to permanent SIM deactivation and therefore disconnection from the digital world we rely on daily,” said Francis E. Flores, SVP and Head of Consumer Wireless Business ā€“ Individual at Smart.

“TNT has always been fun-loving brand that delivers ‘saya’ to Filipinos, which is why we thought of coming up with a public service announcement that is both informative and entertaining to effectively show the dangers and hassles that come with failing to register your SIM,” added Flores.

Viewers of the TNT video have praised it for its creativity, effectively convincing them to finally register their SIM. As of April 16, Smart and TNT continue to lead SIM Registration in the country with 35.6 million registered subscribers.

To avoid permanent SIM deactivation, register your SIM in three easy steps. 1. Go toĀ smart.com.ph/simregĀ or to the GigaLife App available on Google Play and Apple App Store; 2. Input your info and upload your valid ID; and 3. Wait for confirmation and your FREE 3 GB data.
