DepEd statement on Re-registration of DepEd SIM Card Activation | July 31, 2021

Latest Update on DepEd SIM Card Activation! July 31, 2021

We posted the news yesterday but last night DepEd sent a message to clarify that there's no need to register the SIM.

Here's the previous post:

On July 28, 2021, we received an information that all recipients of Deped simcards are advised to register again to https://depedconnect.com.ph for activation and write their received SIM Card number at the "Work Phone Number" field.

The said information was also posted in several Official SDO Pages.

Here's a copy of the information:

To All SIM CARD Recipients:

Per instruction from DepEd ICTS-User Support Division, Central Office. After receiving your SIM Cards, please register "AGAIN" to https://depedconnect.com.ph for activation and write your (received) SIM Card number at the "Work Phone Number" field.

SIM Cards which are not registered will not be loaded for the second month.

For your information and guidance.

Thank you very much!

Clarification 
On July 31, Mr. Mark Anthony Papa of the DepEd Edtech Unit posted in his Facebook Pagean update regarding the reregistration of DepEd SIM to www.depedconnect.com.ph.

Mr. Papa shared a screenshot of an email and the reply sent by Sir Marco Polo Victoriano to DepEd cares. (See Image below).

Full Text of the email:
Hi. Good day to you!
I just want to clarify some things with regards to the sim cards we received.
1. Do we have to re-register to the depedconnect.com.ph upon receiving the sim card?
2. When will our data plan will be replenished?
3. How much data allocation can we use per month and for how many months?

I apologize for any inconvenience that I may cause. Thank you in advance.

Magandang Gabi!
1. No need to re-register again on https://depedconnect.com.ph/, the work phone number and personal phone number is for contact purposes only.
2. You will know that you have received the next load via SMS notification. Advising the data amount and the coverage date of the data allocation.
3. The data allocation for DepEd349 is 4GB open access, you can access all website and applications, and your 1GB daily wallet that will replenish every 12MN and you can access Google, Youtube, Office 365 and any DepEd apps.

Thank you and stay safe,
JayAr - DepEd Care
