- The sim is active for 90 days if not used, so you can order well in time.
- We will Rica the Sim to your name. The process of Rica means the SIM is linked to your name. Do not use someone else’s SIM, they might have been involved in something and you will be linked. Do not give your Sim to someone, they may do something illegal and you will be linked.

- Depending on how busy we are, we may load the recharge voucher directly to your new mobile number, or else send you a recharge voucher for conversion to data.
If you bought extra vouchers for data, we will also email that. (Check Spam, it gets emailed the same day as when the courier is ordered. - We will email you the instructions.
- When you receive the SIM, test it. Do not wait until you are in Mozambique.
- Do a balance check, dial *100*03# after selecting Vodacom as Mobile Network (as shown in the instructions)
- If we send you a recharge voucher, then load it, else if we loaded it from our side, the balance should show some value.
- We do not load data to your number, you have to convert the balance to data yourself.
- The data is only valid for a certain number of days, depending on the package you chose using the instructions. So convert the balance to data (or part thereof) only on the day or day before, when you are going to enter Mozambique.
- If the sim does not access the internet, you may need to set up a new Access Point Name (APN) its easy do not panic. Follow the instructions.
- Keep some airtime for calls – your lodge, your legal assistance etc.
