RICA SIM cards with your Flash machine
RICA is the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provisions of Communication-Related Information. It’s the face-to-face authentication and validation when a new sim card is bought. It applies to all sim cards including MTN, Vodacom, Telkom, and Cell C sim cards.
RICA allows personal information to be linked to a cell phone number and sim card serial number, which helps law enforcement track down people involved in illegal activity and crime conducted via cell phones. Making it vital in helping protect our communities and alleviate crime.
