Can I buy my own SIM for a Rain SIM swap

Most people get confused here. With other networks, doing a SIM swap is a matter of buying a new SIM and then swapping the number from the old SIM. All this is done over the phone. But is this possible with Rain?

There are places out there, such as Takealot, where you can buy a Rain SIM. So, could you buy a new SIM to replace the one that has been lost and can you do the swap over the phone, as is the case with other networks?

Truth of the matter is, that’s entirely possible. However, that’s not really advisable because you are going to have a lot of issues trying to get your new SIM RICAed and activated.

It’s way better to follow the steps that are outlined above. We have been reading horror stories of people who had a lot of problems getting the SIMs that they bought on their own activated.

Some people reported that even after trying to activate their new SIMs, they were still sent another SIM by Rain. So, to avoid confusion, it’s better to do the Rain SIM Swap by signing into your account and following the steps highlighted above.
