In adherence to a directive from the National Communications Authority (NCA), MTN Ghana has taken action to block 4.8 million subscribers who did not re-register their SIM cards with a Ghana card.
As a result, there has been a 6.3% decline in the telecom giant’s subscriber base, now totaling 26.8 million as of the conclusion of 2023.
Earlier, by May 31, 2023, MTN Ghana had initially blocked 5.4 million SIMs not registered with the Ghana card; however, 600,000 of them were successfully re-registered.
The comprehensive re-registration of all SIM cards using the Ghana National ID card was carried out nationwide by the NCA and telecom operators, completing the process by May 2023.
