How can I confirm that your number is registered?
In the Unitel network: You can check online, following the next link. You will have to enter your number and you will receive a reply indicating whether the registration is complete or not.
In the Movicel network: Go to a store.
Another way to remotely confirm is to send a message with your number to 19444, the response took 10 minutes, but we had the confirmation. It works for both networks.
