The easiest way to re-register the Telkomsel XL Indosat SIM card
How to Re-register Prepaid SIM Card – Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kemenkominfo) decided for every prepaid cellular card user throughout Indonesia, be it Telkomsel, Sympathy, XL, Axis, SmartFreen, and Indosat SIM card users to re-register their SIM or cellular card.
This policy starts on October 11, 2022 where the cellular card must be re-registered which is validated with a resident identification number (NIK) and Family Card (KK).
Kominfo emphasized that SIM or cellular card re-registration does not require data on the biological mother’s name, only NIK and KK. Until the deadline of 28 February 2022, every new user or old user of a cellular card, must have validated or re-registered a SIM with NIK and KK.
This is done so that they do not abuse their starter pack or cellular card. SIM card or cellular card re-registration can be done individually orself registration) so it’s easy to do because you just need to do SMS.
Before we discuss how to re-register a SIM card or cellular card, let’s find out what are the benefits or objectives of the government requiring prepaid cellular card users to re-register with KK and NIK validation. The following are some of the reasons that serve as the basis and purpose of re-registration with KK and NIK validation.
SIM Re-Registration Purpose
1. Prevent terrorism
Many cases of terrorism and terror often occur at home and abroad. With the steps taken by the government, it is hoped that it will prevent the occurrence of terrorism and acts of terror. With prepaid card validation, the identity of the terrorist actors will be known more quickly.
2. Tackling Hoax News
There are also certain parties, both individuals and groups who deliberately make hoax news to gain profit. For example, there is a website www.example.com that makes hoax news so that the news becomes viral, and the website will be visited by many visitors and also the coffers of money from advertising. There is also hoax news via SMS or social media which is also very common in this modern era.
3. Prevent crime
With efforts to validate prepaid cards or SIMs, it is hoped that we can reduce crimes such as those that we often experience, such as fraud, spam and terror.
Various efforts are of course made by the government to minimize crime and also structuring the state system to make it even better.
After we know what the benefits and objectives of re-registration are by validating KK and NIK, we will proceed to the subject of the discussion, namely how to re-register a SIM card, be it a Telkomsel SIM card, Sympathy, AS, Indosat, XL, Smartfreen and many more. B
Here’s how to re-register a Telkomsel, XL, Indosat SIM card.
How to Re-register SIM Card
- How to re-register the old card: Telkomsel, XL Axiata, Indosat, Tri, and Smartfren
Send SMS to number 4444 with the format: REPEAT#NIK#KK Number
- How to Re-register the Prime Card
Send SMS to number 4444 with the format: REG#NIK#KK Number
- How to Re-register XL Axiata Prime Card
Send SMS to number 4444 with the format: DAFTAR#NIK#KK Number.
The point is to register a prime SIM card is to use the word REG / REGISTER#(16 digit NIK)#(16 digit KK number). And if for old users who want to re-register their prepaid card then use the word REPEAT#(16 digits NIK)#(16 digits of KK number).
Overcoming Failed When Re-registration
During registration there were also problems such as data failures or errors because the Dukcapil database was still invalid or had not been entered into their data storage. If you experience failure during re-registration then you still have 5 opportunities to try again until the data you entered is actually filled in correctly.
However, if 5 times the opportunity always fails, even though the data you input is correct, the operator will send an SMS notification to the number you registered in the form of a statement if the KK and NIK numbers you registered have been filled correctly. So, then you just need to confirm the data with the reply “Agree” if indeed the data you entered is correct.
Problems When Going to Re-registration
1. No E-KTP yet
So the solution is to use the NIK that is on the KK, because the NIK is on the KK and also the E-KTP but on the condition that the KK is still there or not out of place.
2. Don’t have an ID card or not yet 17 years old
The solution is that you just use the NIK listed on the Family Card (KK) because the requirements for re-registration or SIM card initial registration are: NIK and KK Number.
The Impact of Not Re-registering a Prepaid SIM Card
There is also an impact if you do not immediately re-register the prepaid SIM card that you are using now. The impact is the blocking that is carried out in stages.
If you do not re-register until the specified limit, which is 30 days after you receive the notification, the number cannot be used to make outgoing calls as well as incoming calls. If you still haven’t re-registered the prepaid SIM card, the number will be completely blocked.
