Me&you Mobile has reportedly failed to properly implement RICA, allowing eSIMs to be activated within minutes using false information and allegedly creating a foothold for fraudsters in South Africa.
me&you mobile offers eSIMs online free of charge as part of a business model that encourages purchase of their packages.
Most cell phones still use a SIM card, but increasingly, phones are offering an electronic SIM or eSIM, which is much more convenient. The Act states that any customer who receives a SIM-card must provide the relevant electronic communication service provider with their full name, identity number, and proof of address.
Traditionally, getting a phone number without going through RICA means going to a dodgy cell phone store and purchasing a fake-RICA’d physical SIM card.
