Here is the step-by-step guide that would help you switch to TM from any other network:

Note: Before starting, ensure that your current number is active, has no unpaid bills, and has been active for at least 90 days.

Send a text USC to 5050 from your current number. You will receive a 9-digit code in reply.
Visit the nearest Globe store to request a new TM SIM for porting. Don’t forget to bring your SIM and 9-digit code with you.
You will be asked to provide your current number and the 9-digit USC code. Provide the required things when asked.
The new TM SIM will be delivered to you within 2-3 days.
Insert the TM SIM into your phone.
Once inserted, go to the SIM menu, select “Port In” and then “Online Request.”
Enter your old mobile number and the 6-digit porting code sent by TM.
Wait a few hours for your SIM activation. Once activated, you can use the TM network with your old number.

In this way, you will get TM services with your old number. Keep in mind that the process is free of cost and there are no service charges for it.

Troubleshooting The Common Registration Errors

Sometimes, a common issue occurs that can fail the SIM TM registration. These issues might be due to users’ mistakes or sometimes technical issues on the system end. Below, I have discussed the reasons along with the working solutions of these issues:

Not Getting OTP

OTP is the most common issue that occurs during SIM registration. This issue is mostly due to users’ mistakes. However, you can easily overcome it by taking these simple steps:

Double-check and ensure that you have entered the correct phone number.
Check that your phone has a stable network connection and that the SIM card is properly placed.
Check the spam box of your inbox. In some cases, the system considers OTP as spam and sends it to the spam folder.

ID rejected

The system denies the ID and fails the verification. Here are some precautions that would help you to verify your ID successfully.

Make sure that your ID is official and up to date.
The file size of the ID is not greater than 2MB.
Your ID must be clear. The holder’s signature and photo are clear and visible.

Selfie Issue

Selfie verification is one of the most important steps for registration, and registration will not be completed without it. Here is how you can verify your face and overcome all the issues related to it:

Always capture a selfie of your whole face.
Avoid using any filters and effects on your face.
Do not wear any kind of cap, hat, or other such thing.

App or Portal Not Working

This is a rare issue and mostly occurs due to technical issues. Here are the measures that you should follow in such situations:

Check that your device is connected to a stable internet connection. If not, try moving to a better network.
Always use the latest version of the app. Update the app as soon as a new version arrives.

SIM card already registered

This issue is mostly from the system end and is easy to resolve.

Check the gain and ensure that the number you entered is correct. Sometimes, this issue occurs when you accidentally enter the incorrect number that is already registered.
If the number is correct, contact the Globe helpline and report your issue. The helpline would provide you with a solution.

Registration Time Out

It happens when you take too much time to take the next step. This is not a big issue, and you need no worry about it. Just follow these given steps to avoid the “Time out” issue.

Always take your next move as soon as you complete the current step.
In rare cases, this issue occurs when you are not connected to a good network. So always connect your device to a stable internet connection.

Above, I have provided all working solutions to all the possible registration issues. However, if you are stuck at any stage, contact the Globe helpline or visit the Globe stores for assistance.

Tips For Hassle-Free Registration

As a Globe SIM user for many years, I have experienced SIM registration several times and learned some valuable tips to ensure a smooth process. You must follow these for a successful SIM registration:

Always enter the correct mobile number. Double-check the number and ensure its accuracy.
Take a clear, well-lit selfie without filters for smooth facial verification.
Upload a clear photo of acceptable ID. Make sure that the ID is official, up to date, and the user’s signature is clearly visible.
Always connect with a stable internet connection while registering. It would help you to receive OTP successfully and verify your details easily. In short, stable intent is necessary for smooth and successful registration.
Save or screenshot your reference number after registration as proof and for any follow-up inquiries.
