Hi guys,
I'm wondering if I'm just stupid or if there's something wrong with WebAfrica's approval process for RICA documents, specifically the proof of address.

So this new MVNO Me&You Mobile RICA your SIM through their online portal.

Why don't all the operators have this kind of service? It would make much more sense I feel...
I bought an MTN SIM card on Saturday, and tried to put it through the RICA process. The system said something like, "You didn't buy this SIM card in this shop," and said "error". Every single SIM card in the whole shop said the same, as did other shops in the same mall. When phoning 173 on...
