Activate Cell C SIM from overseas via WiFi

[panayi]

As per subject, is this possible? I have been transferred to UK and want to be able to keep an existing number for a little while longer. Moving my wife's SIM to prepaid from month to month contract on Telkom in order to port to Cell C and use WiFi calling.
Problem is that we leave before the 21 days Telkom notice period is up and thus cannot do the prepaid port whilst still in SA...
Anyone have ideas on whether I can RICA a SIM and then later activate over WiFi ?

And if Telkom or Cell C reps can help, would really be appreciated....

Hi panayi

Thank you for contacting Cell C.

Thank you for considering us.
You will need to be in the country to have the Porting processed successful. WiFi Calling can be activated once you have ported to Cell C.

OK, Thanks....

So, @TelkomZA , can we somehow get VoWiFi working on an iPhone ? I understand there are other threads where this is working on Android....

why not leave the existing Telkom and new Cell-C SIMcards in the country and have a friend complete the porting on your behalf and then courier the new SIM to you ?
