All very confusing.....
So the sim swop costs R35 only and not R84.
And if u cannot recharge the microsim with another 3gb /365 voucher then u have to throw that away and start the process again according to the cellc rep here.
Go ahead it works.
Edit: Porting can take a while see http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/342249-Cellc-porting

Update,
So the CellC store tells me that I have to port my number first and then RICA my sim as RICA-ing my sim causes a number to be assigned to it... The CellC reps here are looking into it.
I'll let you know what happens.

The Delay was due to back logs of Rica.

yay! so let me get this straight:
1. buy data sim but do not rica it.
2. port/simswap current prepaid sim to data sim.
3. profit?
now you will have ur usual number with 3gb bundle valid for the year?
cell c has great products, but it sucks that their people on the ground rarely know about them.
I was in the waterfront today, enquired about the 10mb for every R1 you recharge. the reps had no idea what I was talking about, or even about this simswapping to data sim business we're attempting here. cell c would do themselves a major service by sending out emails to their stores informing their employees of products, or even having a fortnightly workshop.
anycase, I did the recharge and it worked, informed the peeps at the store as to the conditions and what not.
now if only *101# worked properly now (message returns as "message was sent successfully" but no balances). thats what you get with cell c, 20steps forward but a quarter step back lmaout them.
