Hey TM

I need a new SIM, my phone keeps on giving me the error "SIM failure".

How much does a replacement SIM cost?

Buy a cheap 99c sim, RICA it, activate it, then call them and do a SIM swop... takes a few minutes to a few hours..

The RICA thing is the problem. I need the SIM ASAP and going via the normal channels won't work as I don't have any of my identification or proof of address with me. :(

Not sure how things operate on MyBroadBand as far as I am aware you have to go into a Telkom Mobile Store / Telkom Direct with proof of identity.. I am in the process of doing a SIM Swop.

my data sim packed up a while ago - took it to a Telkom store and walked out after 15mins with a new sim without paying one cent - the guy said the black sims had a bad batch and I now have a blue one (nothing racist intended)
