📱 Everything You Need to Know About the ‘T World SIM Protection Service’ Before Your SIM Gets Stolen

A communication insurance-like service that completely prevents illegal SIM cloning

1. Is my SIM about to be stolen? What exactly is happening?

Did you know that there is a flood of inquiries about SIM replacements at telecom customer service centers these days? 🚨 My friend had to replace his SIM last week because of suddenly poor call quality, only to find out this was a new tactic used by a large scam organization. 😢

Illegal SIM cloning is a terrifying crime that uses my mobile phone number to conduct financial fraud. According to the Seoul police, there have been over 1,200 reported cases in just the year 2023, with an average damage amount exceeding 5 million won… 😱

The T World SIM Protection Service is what protects us from these dangers. When you sign up for the service, it blocks the use of cloned SIMs and provides 100% compensation just in case!

2. How to enroll in the SIM Protection Service in just 3 seconds (with screenshots)

I’ll share a super simple method that you can use to enroll right now! I joined last night and it seriously took me less than a minute. ✨

1. Launch the T World app → Enter ‘SIM Protection’ in the upper search bar
2. Click the [Enroll] button on the service page
3. Agree to the terms and check the verification number (enter the 6-digit number sent via SMS)

Please note that if you are using a roaming plan, be careful to avoid double enrollment! If you are already enrolled in the overseas roaming service, no separate application is necessary~

3. I was creeped out by actual cases (behind the collaboration development with the police)

There’s a reason I’m strongly recommending this service. Let me show you an actual incident that happened last year. 👇

A man in his 40s was using his phone as usual when it suddenly went into a communication blackout. It turned out that scammers had reissued a SIM in his name and intercepted all the OTP messages. As a result, 37 million won vanished from his account in just 2 hours. 💸

To prevent such incidents, this service was developed in collaboration with the Cyber Investigation Division of the Seoul Police over six months. Technically speaking, even if a SIM is cloned, it blocks any access to the carrier from devices other than the original!

4. From booking to receiving the SIM replacement: A to Z

These days, many people hear that there are no SIM stocks when they visit SK Telecom stores, right? I nearly fainted last week when I was told there’s a “2-week reservation” policy. Hehe;;

Currently, SIM replacements are operated on an online reservation basis. After verifying your identity on T World, you can choose a store and receive text messages sequentially as stocks become available. (Usually takes 3 to 7 days) 📲

🌟 Tip: New stocks arrive on weekdays at 10 AM, so if you make a reservation then, you can get it faster!

5. 3 useful tips for SIM management

I’d like to share the methods I personally practice to protect your precious communication information!

• 🔒 Set a PIN: There is a feature to lock the SIM with a password. You can activate it by going to Settings → Security → SIM card lock
• 📱 Report faulty SIMs: If you experience issues like call disconnections or unstable signals for more than three days, report immediately to 1599-0011
• 🔄 Regularly check your SIM: Once a year, check the ‘SIM Status Check’ menu in the T World app
