The POS device makes use of a 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 SIM
card provides for only 3Mb of data trac per month. Excessive data throughput will
again block the SIM card.
