If your Sim card is merely damaged or missing, proceed to Step 4.

 

Step 1Call 081 180 from a Telkom, Vodacom, Virgin Mobile, Cell C or MTN phone. 

Step 2Inform the call centre agent that your cell phone has been stolen. 

Step 3: Provide your mobile phone number, IMEI number, your ID number and physical address to have your mobile phone blacklisted and the SIM card blocked. 

Step 4: Go to your nearest Telkom store to get a SIM swap.  

Remember to take your id document as well as proof of residence to the Telkom store for RICA purposes.
