The Ghana SIM Self Registration we have all been waiting for is here! I’m sure most of you can bear witness to how stressful it is to stand in long queues, take some precious time from your work or miss important meetings just to get our SIM cards registered.
The SIM card registration process has been a very tedious one and thanks to the National Communication Authority (NCA) for a great development by introducing a new, convenient, and stress-free way to register our SIM cards.
The introduction of the GH SIM SELF REG application has made it easy to get our SIM cards registered in the comfort of our homes at any time of the day. Self-registration is here!!
