How to update Telkom Sim Card Online. Kenyans have been under pressure in recent weeks to update their sim card details before their lines are ‘disconnected,’ thanks to the communication authority extending the registration deadline to October 15th, 2022.
The authority had previously directed that all telecommunications companies re-register their subscribers’ biodata, including a recent passport, by April 15th. However, in response to numerous complaints from concerned parties, including Deputy President William Ruto, the authority had to bow to pressure and extend the deadline.
But what if you’ve already registered or bought your line for 2022? You will have to re-register it. This is due to the prevalence of dual or multiple SIM registrations, with some of these registrations being illegal.
