The process involves taking a picture, scanning a new prepaid SIM card, an ID document (or passport for foreign nationals), and then recording a video with a unique PIN as proof of your identity.
AI and biometrics compare these identities and then verify them with Home Affairs, the company says.
“Once verified, the customer can insert the SIM in any cellphone where they will receive a welcome message from Vodacom with their new cellphone number,” Vodacom said in a statement.
To access TOBi on the My Vodacom App, select the “Chat to TOBi” option in the app.
