Assistance is bad

Cell C really needs to review SIM swap procedures, my mom that suffers from memory loss is now unable to get her old number back just because she can't remember the last 5 numbers she dialed. We talking about elderly people here guys, you need to put in some other sort of procedure for them as well. So disappointed for all the trouble we have to go through to change her number in all areas now

Good Day 

Thank you for making contact with Cell C regarding the SMI swap process. 

As per RICA legislation, we can only assist you with a SIM swap if the number is in your name and was being actively used by you. You also need to pass the mandatory security check before we can action the SIM swap for you. There is a lot of ***** when it comes to SIM swaps and that is why we take the necessary steps to protect you as the customer as well as Cell C.


May we have the RICA serial number of the new SIM card + the Cell C number in the question and contact number?

Please send the information via private message.

Best regards,

In order to do the SIM swap, we need a new Cell C SIM card that is not RICA'd. Please purchase one and let us know once you have it.
