1) Users who do not register within 30 days of the notification of the terms: outgoing call service and outgoing SMS service will be blocked.

2) Users who do not register within 15 days of the blocking date (point 1): incoming call service and incoming SMS service will be blocked.

3) Users who do not register within 15 days of the blocking date (point 2): internet service will be blocked.

2. Data to be Prepared

After knowing the consequences, prepaid card users will certainly be more motivated to register.

However, of course, the registration process for simpati cards for foreigners will be different from users who are Indonesian citizens (WNI). For more details, please refer to the following explanations.
