Unregistered Pre Paid SIM Cards
It's estimated that there are many unregistered pre paid SIM cards in South Africa. These are at risk of being cut off next week on June 30. Service providers have been doing everything possible to spread the word about the cutoff, letting all their users know that they must register their SIM cards.
However, many people are still ignoring the message and refuse to register their cards. All of the SIM cards on the new 8ta Telkom network are pre-registered, since this network was launched after the Rica legislation requiring registration was passed in 2009. However, there are many Cell C and Virgin Mobile unregistered SIM cards around the country that will simply cease to function on July 1. These users will be able to unblock their numbers by following Rica registration process.
