GPRS SIM CARD USAGE AND REPLACEMENT
SIM CARD INFORMATION
The POS device makes use of a GPRS data-only SIM card, provided either by MTN or
Vodacom. This SIM card is provisioned for banking data transactions only and cannot be
used in a standard cellular phone.
Should the SIM card be removed from the POS device and placed in another device, the SIM
card will automatically be blocked by the network operator. A blocked SIM card will require a
full POS device swap-out at the cost of the merchant's account. The GPRS SIM card provides
for only xxMB (megabytes) of data traffic per month. Excessive data throughput will again
block the SIM card.
