Philippines eSIM & SIM Registration Guide for Travelers (2025 Edition) 📜📲
Share
📢 What Is the SIM Registration Law in the Philippines?
In late 2022, the Philippines passed the SIM Card Registration Act, requiring all SIM cards—including eSIMs—to be registered under a valid identity to help prevent scams, identity theft, and cybercrime. 📛
This law applies to everyone, including foreign visitors. If you're planning to use a Philippines eSIM during your trip, registration is required even for short stays.
🧳 So, What Should Tourists Do?
Good news—if you're buying your eSIM from Chillaxsim, the process is already streamlined for international travelers. Here's what you need to do when purchasing:
-
✅ Upload a copy of your valid passport (encrypted and secure)
-
✅ Enter your basic details (name, date of birth, nationality)
-
✅ After payment, receive your QR code and start using your eSIM
💡 The whole process takes just minutes—faster than queuing for a local SIM!

Q2: Is my personal data safe?
A2: Absolutely. All ID and personal info is encrypted and only used to comply with Philippine telecom laws—never for marketing.
Q3: What happens if I don’t register?
A3: Your eSIM won’t activate, or will be deactivated shortly after first use.
