What Happens If TM SIM Gets Deactivated During Registration?

Registering your TM SIM is required so your number stays active and secure. But what if your SIM gets deactivated in the middle of registration? That can be confusing and stressful. I’ll explain exactly what happens, why it happens, and what you should do in plain, easy language.

Why SIM Registration Is Important

Before we get into what happens if it fails, let’s quickly remind ourselves why registration matters.

The government requires SIM registration so mobile numbers are safer and linked to real people. If you don’t finish registration in time, your number can be blocked or deactivated. That means no calls, no texts, and no internet.

What Does “Deactivated During Registration” Mean?

When your TM SIM gets deactivated, it means the network has temporarily stopped your service. This can happen even in the middle of filling out the registration form if something goes wrong with the submission.

Your SIM may show no network signal or your phone may say “No Service.” This is a temporary block, not that your number is lost forever.

Common Reasons Your TM SIM Deactivated During Registration

Here are the usual causes:

Incomplete Submission

If the registration form wasn’t successfully submitted — maybe the page closed, the upload failed, or the phone lost connection — the system may consider your SIM not registered and automatically deactivate it.

Wrong Information

If details you entered do not match your valid ID, the system may reject your request and stop the registration process. This can trigger deactivation as part of the system safety checks.

Network or Server Problems

Sometimes the online portal or app may glitch or the internet drops while you are submitting. This interruption can make the system think the process was not completed.

OTP Issues

If you never received the OTP or used the wrong one, the registration did not complete correctly, and that can lead to deactivation.

What Happens After Deactivation

When your SIM becomes inactive during registration, these things usually happen:

Calls will not go through
Text messages will not send or receive
Mobile data will not work
You may see “No Service” on your phone

But the good news is, your number is not gone permanently. It’s just in a temporary inactive state until you finish the registration correctly.You can also read: TM SIM Registration for New vs Old Phones: A Comparison

What You Should Do Next

Here’s what to do if your TM SIM is deactivated during registration:

Step 1: Don’t Panic

Deactivation during registration is common and fixable. Your number isn’t deleted, just inactive.

Step 2: Re‑Start the Registration

Open the TM SIM registration portal or the GlobeOne app again and start the process from the beginning. Make sure all information you enter is correct.

Step 3: Check Your Internet

Use a stable connection. Wi‑Fi or a strong mobile signal helps avoid interruptions.

Step 4: Confirm Your OTP

Make sure you receive and enter the OTP correctly so the system can verify your number.

Step 5: Visit a Store if Needed

If online registration keeps failing, go to the nearest Globe/TM store. Staff there can help complete your registration and reactivate your SIM.

Tips to Avoid Deactivation During Registration

Here are some quick tips that help you complete the process smoothly:

Make sure you have a stable internet connection
Double‑check your name, address, and ID details
Take your ID and selfie clearly with good lighting
Avoid doing registration during peak hours

Final Words
