How To Activate Telkom SIM

To activate a Telkom SIM, you generally need to follow these steps:

1. RICA: Register your SIM card through the RICA (Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act) process. This involves providing your identification details and proof of address. You can do this online at the Telkom RICA website, through a USSD code, or at a Telkom store.

2. Recharge: Once RICA is complete, recharge your SIM card with the required minimum amount. This amount can vary depending on the type of SIM and any promotions.

3. Activate: The SIM should activate automatically after recharging. You might need to dial a specific code or restart your device to complete the activation.

Additional points to note:

• Telkom LTE SIM activation might take up to 72 working hours after delivery.
• You can check the activation status by inserting the SIM into a compatible device and dialing *101# a few times.
• If you encounter any issues, contact Telkom customer support for assistance.

How to activate IP Voice (VOIP)

1. Understand IP Voice: IP Voice is an alternative telephone service that works off your Internet connection. For Telkom Internet bundle customers, it cuts out unnecessary landline costs and you are only charged for your Calling plan.

2. Sign Up for IP Voice: Once you sign up for an IP Voice service, Telkom will give you your own unique VoIP number. It works like a phone number, and you’ll use it whenever you need to make and receive calls over the Internet1.

3. Use a VoIP Phone: Telkom recommends that you make use of their VoIP-enabled phone, as the setup and registration is automated and minimal customer input is required. If you have an existing VoIP phone, you can manually enter your IP Voice Details.

4. Activate the Configuration: You will have to log onto the customer portal to activate the configuration.

5. Costs: It’s free for Telkom Internet bundle customers and other ISP customers will pay a monthly rental fee for IP Voice clients. You’ll also pay for your Calling plan on a monthly basis, that you can use to call other mobile & landline numbers
