Thank you for providing the number.

Our records indicate that the number was deactivated due to inactivity, as the SIM card had not been recharged for more than 90 days.

If you still have the original SIM card, kindly provide us with the SIM card serial number used for RICA registration so that we can investigate further and advise on the available options.
Kind regards,

We understand your concern. However, not having the RICA serial number of the old SIM card may cause an issue with the process, as the serial number is required for verification.
