PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Your new Vodacom SIM card has been preset with the PIN request disabled. This means that
when you insert your SIM into your cellphone or modem, you will not be prompted to type in
a PIN number. You will be connected to the Vodacom network.
A PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a security code that stops your cellphone or device from
being used without your permission. You can set your cellphone to prompt you for a PIN when you
switch your cellphone on by referring to your cellphone manual, under your cellphone’s settings and
security features. Your cellphone will request a PIN number, use 0000 (these will appear as stars on
your screen). You will then be prompted to set your own PIN number. Ensure that you choose a PIN
number that is easy to remember. Your cellphone should confirm that your PIN has been changed.
If you setup a PIN number on your cellphone and you enter a PIN incorrectly three times, the SIM
card will be blocked and you will be required to enter your PUK number. The PUK number can be
found on your Vodacom Certificate or obtained by calling 082 111. Remember to keep your PUK
number in a safe place.
For more information, call Customer Care on 111 free from your Vodacom cellphone or call 082 111
from any other phone at the applicable call rate.
