When you get a new SIM card, the PUK is supplied with the Starter Pack. Unfortunately, these tend to get lost over the years. Not to worry – you can access your PUK in other ways too:

Log into My Vodacom online
Select ‘Manage my profile’
Select the tab ‘Price plan and phone’ and you will see your PUK number displayed.
SMS ‘VPP’ to 31050 from the cellphone number you need your PUK for.
Dial *135#
Select ‘Services’
Select ‘PUK Number’

Or, dial 082 135, free from a Vodacom cellphone and follow the voice prompts.
Make sure you have the right PUK number and enter it correctly. If you enter the incorrect PUK number too many times, your SIM card will be permanently blocked and you’ll have to get a new one.

If your Smartcall SIM card should be lost, damaged or stolen you can do a SIM swap (SIM replacement) using any other Smartcall starter pack.

Benefits of SIM Swap:
• You get to keep your cellphone number on the new SIM.
• Your credit balance will be carried over and you will keep your number.

How to do a Prepaid SIM Swap:
1. Buy a new Prepaid starter pack and register it for RICA.
2. Dial 136 from the new SIM.
3. Select the option to use your old cellphone number.
4. You will be routed to a call center consultant who will do the SIM swap for you.
5. Put your new SIM into your device. It will take between two and 24 hours before the new SIM card is activated.

You can also port to Smartcall, by going to any Vodacom shop and speaking to a sales assistant, or contacting the Smartcall Customer Care Centre (011 507 4789).

To become a prepaid subscriber, you only need to buy a cell phone and a prepaid starter pack. There are no additional monthly costs, credit checks or credit approval. You buy recharge vouchers as you need them. Your airtime window and cell phone credit will be extended every time you buy a voucher according to the value of the voucher.

Advantages of prepaid:
•   No contracts, credit checks, credit approvals or long-term commitment.
•   No monthly billing, extra or hidden costs – you pay in advance for what you use.
•   Topping up your account is easy.
•   You have access to most cellphone services for example voice mail, SMSing, CLIP etc, and can make use of the prepaid roaming facilities in some neighboring countries.

Disadvantages of prepaid:
•   Cost per minute is higher than with contract subscriptions.
•   Cost per SMS is usually higher than with contract subscriptions.
•   If you do not use your phone for 7 months your number will be disconnected from the network.

When should I select Prepaid?
•   If you do not want to commit to a long-term contract.
•   If you are a first-time cell phone user who might not yet have a clear idea of your cellular usage patterns/expenses/budgeting.
•   If you want to have a clear, pre-determined cell phone budget (for example students).
•   If you only use a cell phone occasionally.
•   If you only want a cell phone for emergencies, for example, parents buying cell phones for their kids for emergency purposes.
•   If you will only be in the country for a short time or infrequently.

Subscribing to a cell phone contract usually involves signing a 2-year contract with a fixed monthly cost. This usually includes a handset (cell phone) and a certain number of free minutes per month. SMS bundles can be added to the contract at a fixed cost, lowering the overall cost of SMS communication. You are billed monthly for the contract subscription, calls made “outside” of your free minutes allocation and any additional services like SMS bundles, CLIP (Caller Line Identity Presentation), etc.

If you cancel the contract before the 2 years have expired you will have to pay a penalty which can range from a flat fee amount to a charge per month remaining on your contract. You will also have to go through credit checks and approval before you qualify to become a contract subscriber. Calls are however cheaper per minute than with prepaid.

Advantages of a cell phone contract:
•   You do not have to worry about “running out of credit” when you have to make a call.
•   You will get free minutes to use per month, depending on the package you select.
•   You usually get a handset (cellphone) included in your contract
•   You have access to the complete range of cellphone services including full international roaming, data calls, faxing, etc.
•   Calls are cheaper per minute.
•   SMSs are usually cheaper per SMS, you can also buy SMS bundles to lower the cost even further.

Disadvantages of a cell phone contract?
•   Contracts are subject to credit checks and approval.
•   You will have to budget for a monthly bill which could be unexpectedly high if you don’t use your contract responsibly.
•   You are bound to the contract for 24 months and will have to pay penalty fees for early cancellations.
