activities.”

There
has been several reports of numbers linked to other people’s Ghana Card without
their knowledge. This has drawn the attention of many as people are calling for means
by which they can verify the numbers being linked to their Ghana Cards.

social media post announced that it has actively engaged the various
telecommunication networks on launching a shortcode that will allow subscribers
to verify the number of SIM cards linked to their Ghana Cards. “The NCA and the
Telcos have already been actively working on a short code for Individual
Subscribers to verify the number of SIMs associated with a Ghana card; you just
type the shortcode on your phone, and after a verification process using your
Ghana card pin, the number of SIMs associated with the Ghana card will be
displayed.”
The NCA said the shortcode will be ready and starting from 1st
May, 2023 you can check the number of SIMs that has been linked to your Ghana
card. If you find any strange number linked to you Ghana card, visit the
