Technical Support services - how to get help

Modified on Fri, 15 Aug at 10:51 AM

When a SIM is managed through SIMcontrol, you get access to a specialist technical support team. This means that you don't need to use standard mobile network call centres as 1st line support. 


We have more than 15 years of SIM management experience in various African countries.
