Ridiculous requirements for sim swap
I lost my phone so I wanted to do a sim swap, I called customer care for help and I was asked to answer some security questions, I agreed expecting to be asked things like to confirm my I.D number address or phone number, but instead was asked for 3numbers I called frequently, when was my last recharge, for how much, when I started using the sim card, like really how m I expected to remember all those specific. Now I'm supposed to go make an affidavit for a sim swap!!! Thus is just ridiculous. What's the point of Rica if I can't use my I.D number and address for those security measures??

Thank you for your post.
We are sorry to have disappointed you with our service and would like to assure you that we do strive to provide the best service at all times.
Due to the number of sim swap ***** identified, it is our duty to try our level best to protect our customers and us as a service provider and the only way we can be able to do that, is to make sure we ask security questions and we do have to be strict about it as we cannot leave room for mistake.
There is an alternative to help you should you not remember all security checks as you mentioned, you may go to the police station and make an affidavit and attach the copy of your ID, the reason for this is for us to have a document of declaration from yourself so that should someone else call and claim the no. we have our files to refer back too.
We apologies for the inconvenience this has caused but please understand it is meant to protect you as our customer against any kind of misconduct and ***** that has escalated into an unbelievable scale.
We sincerely hope that you will have no further cause for any complaint in relation to our service.
Regards
Veronica
