Common Issues and Troubleshooting Tips for Globe SIM Registration

While Globe has streamlined the SIM registration process, users might encounter some challenges. Here’s how to troubleshoot common issues during Globe SIM registration:

OTP Not Received:

Check your phone’s signal.
Ensure your SMS inbox is not full.
Click “Resend OTP” on the registration portal.

Solution: Double-check all personal details (name, birthday, address) against your valid ID before submitting. Even small discrepancies can lead to rejection.

Expired ID:

Technical Glitches/Portal Errors:

Solution: Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, or use a different web browser. Ensure your internet connection is stable. If using the GlobeOne app, ensure it’s updated to the latest version.
