Cell C simswap troubles

Hi, my SIM card got damaged so I got a new one but wanted to do à simswap, I phoned Cell C customer care, failed the security questions ( couldn't remember when I recharged, or reloaded a voucher, not as if I use the service for making calls) and was referred to one of their stores. Got there was told the same thing and R100 extra and I asked them what I must do and they told me there's nothing I can do. Now I've been using my phone number for WhatsApp and stuff and now I've just been yold that I will have 5o chabge my number, what the heck. Why is this?

Hi Cell C, thank u for the prompt reply and I understand the security aspect but if I went to ur store personally, so surely that would be enough to bypass that. Anyway, the number I use is *** and the rica serial number of the new SIM card is ***.

I hope this is the correct serial number you require. If not please contact me on my email: ***
