Government says it will soon clamp down on persons who indulge in the sale of pre-registered sim cards.

To this end, it has cautioned all actors within the SIM registration value chain including subscribers and agents of mobile network operators to ensure compliance with the SIM registration and activation processes in line with the relevant statutory provisions.

Speaking at a media briefing in Accra, Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, said the Ministry of Communications is concerned about a number of deficiencies with the existing SIM card registration regime in Ghana which gives way to fraudulent activities.

Meanwhile, all subscribers have been asked to verify the authenticity of their SIM registration by dialing *400# on any network.

For any information to assist government on this exercise, citizens or other persons should call 0800-110622.
