Hello,

So I have several sim cards that I own, but which are not in my possession. They are mainly used for data transfer.
These sim cards constantly move around and thus it's not practical for me to go to each one and check their balances or top up their balances manually.

Is there anyway that I can check their current balances online? Data balance, airtime balance, etc. And also load on new data bundles or airtime?

The sims are primarily normal prepaid network sims. Mainly Vodacom and MTN. Do you guys know if they offer a service as the one I stated above?

On prepaid I am not sure, but on contract the numbers you have on your account will show up on your online profile on the Vodacom portal. Have you tried doing this with the Vodacom portal with the prepaid numbers?

You can register the sim on the Vodacom online portal. It will send you an SMS to confirm when you do.

After the initial registration, you will not need the sim in your possession. You can check the airtime balance, data balance, run a mini statement or get a full statement (charged) on the portal.

You can also load airtime on the portal using your cc, but I prefer using my FNB for that for 15% back on airtime

I currently have 3 different logins on the Vodacom portal. The password for all three are the same so it's easy to remember
