This article covers how to ensure your Airtel SIM card registration details are up to date, and compliant as per requirements. A while back there was a huge rush to registering SIM cards, as Kenyans feared their lines would be blocked. The Communication Authority of Kenya then extended the deadline by 5 months giving Kenyans the chance to do self registration online.
Dial *106# and select option 1 to check your status to know if you’re compliant or not.
