The teller is supposed to Rica it. You'd have to go back to Checkers.

I had the same problem bought at SIM at CNA and then took it to CellC shop to RICA but they refused to do so saying I had to RICA where I bought it. Something to do with the serial numbers also being tracked to where it was sold not just who RICAd it which makes sense.

Well think about it. It cost you 99 cents. You can go to any other retail store or CellC shop and buy a new prepaid sim and get it RICAd and just throw away the old 99c sim.

You can go to any store that does rica to rica that number. I bought a simcard at game which they never rica'd and passed jet and they rica it for me no questions asked.

So you can rica it anywhere.

I purchased a CELL C starter pack today had no problem at all. Just asked the cashier at CNA that I want to "RICA" quickly she did it with her POS but she never put my physical address, postal address was quiet surprised that it went successful.

I think some merchants are too afraid to RICA the simcard cause the sales person who is registering the simcard can get into trouble if it's a stolen bunch etc cause it's under their profile.
