SIM registration rules tightened around national ID. If your line is blocked, it’s usually a KYC mismatch — not “network wahala” alone.
What Usually Works
| Need | Action |
|---|---|
| New SIM | Register at authorised agent / shop with valid ID |
| Existing line | Update biometrics / Ghana Card details as directed |
| Name mismatch | Align with Ghana Card / birth docs |
Follow your network’s official USSD/app instructions (MTN, Telecel, AirtelTigo).
Avoid
- Street agents who “clone” someone else’s registration
- Sending Ghana Card photos to random WhatsApp numbers
- Paying for “unblocking codes” from strangers
FAQ
Foreign passport SIM?
