The Talk ‘N Text (TNT) network, operating under Smart Communications in the Philippines, now requires all users to complete TNT SIM registration in accordance with national regulations. This process is designed to ensure user security, prevent fraud, and maintain a safe mobile network.

With rapid advancements in technology, SIM registration has become a standard requirement. TNT has clearly instructed all subscribers—both old and new—to complete registration using any of the available methods for convenience and accessibility.
