Can You Register Multiple TNT SIMs Under One Name?
Yes — you can register more than one TNT SIM card under your name, but there are a few important things to understand so you stay compliant and avoid future issues when registering or using multiple SIMs.
Under the Philippines’ SIM Registration Act (Republic Act No. 11934) and the implementing rules issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), users are required to register each SIM they own before the SIM can be activated. This applies to both physical SIMs and eSIMs.
How Multiple TNT SIM Registrations Work
However, government agencies have discussed potentially introducing a cap to prevent misuse (such as fraud or SIM stacking), so future limits might be considered.
Even if all the SIM cards are under your name, each TNT SIM must be registered separately with the correct personal information. This means you can’t register one SIM and automatically include others — you must complete a registration for each SIM number.
You can use the same valid government‑issued ID (like your passport, national ID, driver’s license, etc.) for all of your TNT SIM registrations if they are all in your name. This makes it easy if you have more than one SIM for work, travel, data, or separate phone lines.
Currently, the law does not set a strict limit on how many SIM cards you can register under your name. Many people register multiple SIMs — some for different phones and even different services — all under one ID.

Things to Keep in Mind
Every SIM registration must include your full name, birthdate, address, and valid government ID details. Make sure everything matches exactly so the registration completes successfully.
If you have multiple SIMs and one gets lost or stolen, you are responsible for reporting it so it can be deactivated. Otherwise, it may still be linked to your identity.
Even if a SIM isn’t currently in use (like a backup or old device), you still need to register it before it can be activated later.
