Hallo allemaal!
Hier dan ook nog maar even in een algemeen topic.
Lees net het volgende bericht op de website van Vodacom :
What is RICA?
The Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication - related Information Act (RICA) requires that all customers that had a SIM card activated prior to 31 July 2009, register their SIM cards by 30 June 2011. All SIM cards including Data, Contract and Prepaid must be registered. All subscribers who do not comply with the Act will be placed in a RICA lock status.
The same RICA lock will be applied with all de-registrations of RICA information until such time that the new RICA registration information is captured by a RICA gent for all de-registered customers.
On registration the RICA lock will be removed automatically.
Who must register?
All current and new Contract, Top Up and Prepaid customers must register their SIM cards.
Existing customers
Current subscribers who have activated their cellphone numbers prior to 1st July 2009, need to register their personal details against that cellphone number (SIM card) in order to comply with the RICA Act. This must be done by 30 June 2011.
Single users: The account holder is required to register their details personally, except where the account holder has given the SIM card to a non-family member. In that case the person who is using the SIM card has to register the SIM card and provide their personal details. In the case of minors - the personal details of the minor’s parents or guardians will be registered.
Business / SME / Corporate: The business is required to nominate a representative - Juristic Person - who will register all company SIMs on the account in the company’s name. Vodacom Business customers can call 082 1940 for more information.
**New customers
**
When purchasing a new starter pack customers are required to register the new SIM card and provide their personal details. New SIM cards will only be activated on the Vodacom network, once the relevant SIM card has been registered.
Simkaarten die nog niet geregistreerd zijn gaan vanaf 30 juni op slot. Dus ook de simkaarten die nu al uitgegeven zijn en nog niet geregistreerd zijn.
Groeten Remco.
