Good evening Nairalanders, please am asking this for a friend. A friend of mine doesn't know what to do so as to prevent her late dad's sim card from being blocked. Your opinion and advise will be welcome please! Thanks
Note: Her dad never registered for National ID before he died which is the main issue of linking it to the sim cards. What can she do to link it?

Mod, please help me push to front page

She should allow them to block the line if the owner is dead, or she should link it to her own NIN if she must continue using the line.

Thanks! Does that mean they won't check the
info (Name, photo of the person e.t.c) if it corresponds to the one given while registering the sim card?

I don't think that any sensible network operator will block a line that is linked to a valid NIN. They may invite the NIN owner to go and regularize the data.
