Using Esoqo from any phone

The complete menu, the SMS commands, and what to do if your phone is lost. Print the card below and keep it where you trade.

The whole menu, on one page

A 182-character screen cannot show you the tree. This can.

Dial *483*77#. Press 0 to go back and 00 to return to the start, from anywhere in the menu. A session closes after two minutes — if it closes while you are part-way through, dial again and Esoqo puts you back where you were.

Send any of these to 40277. Esoqo never sends you a link, and will never ask you to tap one.

If your phone or PIN is gone

1 · Freeze it now

From any phone, send SIMAMA to 40277 with your registered number, or call 0709 000 000. Your balance is frozen straight away. Nobody can move money while it is frozen.

2 · Replace the line

Get a replacement SIM with the same number from your operator. Your Esoqo record is tied to the number, not the handset.

3 · Set a new PIN

Dial *483*77# and follow the prompts. Esoqo asks questions only you can answer. A field officer can help in person if that fails.

Esoqo will never ask you for your PIN

Not by call, not by SMS, not by anyone claiming to be staff or a field officer. If someone asks, they are not from Esoqo. Hang up and call 0709 000 000.

Card to print and keep

Print it, fold it, and pin it where you trade. It works when the phone is dead.
