Need Help Understanding Globe SIM Card Online Registration Process

Hi everyone,
I’ve been studying mobile communication systems and came across the Globe SIM card registration process. I know SIM registration is now mandatory for security reasons, but I’d like to understand the technical part behind it  how user data is verified, encrypted, and stored safely during registration.

I’m also curious if anyone has worked on similar systems that integrate user verification with online platforms. How do telecom companies handle authentication to prevent duplication or identity fraud? It would be great to learn more about the backend process or tools used in such systems.

Hi! SIM registration involves several important technical steps to ensure security and prevent fraud. First, the user’s personal information—such as Wacky Flip ID numbers, name, and sometimes biometrics—is collected and verified against government or official databases. This helps prevent duplicate SIMs or identity misuse. All data is encrypted during transmission and securely stored in the telecom’s backend systems to protect against unauthorized access. Telecom companies often implement additional authentication layers, like OTP verification, online KYC platforms, or biometric checks, to further confirm user identity. Behind the scenes, specialized operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS) manage registration, compliance, and auditing, making sure every SIM is tracked, secure, and linked to the correct user. This combination of verification, encryption, and monitoring is how telecoms maintain both regulatory compliance and user security.
