Who protects consumers against cellphone banking fraud?
Fraudsters now have the option to transfer money not into accounts, but simply withdraw the funds scammed from you using a telephone number
So I decided to switch to cell c on the back of their new promotional offer.
I went to PEP and bought a sim. Took my ID and proof of residence and did the whole Rica thing. Bought R150 airtime and replaced the sim in my phone.

Hi Guys
Not sure if this is the right forum for this. I've been trying to research the RICA law but I'm bad at reading and interpreting all legal speak. I just wanted to know if its legal to force someone whose phone is damaged - to buy a sim card and register it with RICA before being able...

We supply sims to m2m customers, some are starting to use 8ta sims, but it's proving challenging to supply these for a number of reasons.
We can't Rica 8ta sims to a business, only to individual identities.

Is it ok if I just leave the old sim...

How do I find out the cell number for the sim so that it can be Rica-ed? I don't have the packaging with me.
Quite frankly I have absolutely no confidence that this **** RICA...
I recently got a new contract from MTN. The application was submitted *after* the RICA cut-off date and all my paperwork was in order but the phone arrived and hasn't been working. For three days, I have been on the line to MTN once an hour to find out why the phone isn't working and, finally, I...
