Information required for registering new and existing customers in terms of RICA

What is RICA?

RICA is the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act.

The customer registration section of the RICA, as set out by the South African Government,requires everyone who has an active HSDPA contract, ADSL, iBurst and VoIP service to register their SIM cards and/or user details from 1 July 2009.

 

Why must you register?

  • RICA registration is a legislative requirement from the South African Government
  • This new legislation aims to help law enforcement agencies to track criminals using cell phones and other telecommunication services for illegal activities, thereby contributing to make South Africa safer for everyone.

 

Who must register?

All current and new HSDPA, ADSL customers mustregister their SIM cards, broadband services and VoIP SIP accounts.

Existing customers:

Current subscribers, who have activated their services prior to 1st July 2009, need to register their personal details against that service in order to comply with the RICA Act. This must be done within 18 months from the 1st of July 2009.

New customers:

When purchasing a new ECNS service, customers are required to register the new service and provide their personal details. New services will only be activated on the relevant network, once the relevant service has been registered.

 

Where do you register?

Currently it is possible to register your service at all Xyrax Fibre’s branches in South Africa.
