How do I sign up for a new mobile phone plan?
To subscribe to one of Cytamobile-Vodafone’s mobile phone plans, you need to visit a Cytashop or one of the stores on Cyta’s sales network and show your Cypriot Identity Card (nationality: Cypriot). In the case of a company, its legally authorised representative should present his/her Identity Card together with the Certificate of Company Registration and the Certificate of Directors and Secretary.
Foreign nationals wishing to subscribe to one of Cytamobile-Vodafone’s mobile phone plans should present their passport. Citizens of EU member states may also present their national Identity Card.
How can I settle my bill?

You can settle your bill in one of the following six ways:

  • At any Cytashop
  • At any store on the Cyta sales network
  • At any bank
  • Online (www.cyta.com.cy)
  • By Standing Order
  • At various points (e.g. kiosks) with EasyPay
What should I do if I lose my mobile phone or it is stolen?
If you lose your phone or it is stolen, you should inform us at once on 132 so that we temporarily deactivate your SIM card and thus protect you from being charged for calls that you haven’t made. Your monthly plan will not be terminated unless you ask for this. If you eventually find your phone, you can call us on 132 and we shall reactivate your SIM card. If you don’t find it, you can visit any Cytashop to obtain a new SIM card and reconnect your old number with it, rendering your original one inactive. If your phone is stolen, you need to report the theft to the police as soon as possible, stating the IMEI number if you have noted it, and to make sure that you receive written confirmation of the reported theft. Present the confirmation to the nearest Cytashop. Your IMEI number will at once be placed on a blacklist and recognised as soon as anyone uses your phone.
If your mobile phone is stolen while you are abroad, you should immediately call +357 22 880 100 (the international number for telephone assistance) and report the theft. For 24-hour assistance, call +357 22 880 300.
What should I do if the phone asks me to enter my PUK code?
When you purchase a SIM card there are PIN and PUK code numbers on the packaging. If you lose them you need to call 132 to be given a new PUK and then you can set a new PIN. The PUK will only be given to the owner of the SIM card.
How do I make a call without showing my number?
You can withhold your number selectively by dialling #31# before the number you wish to call. If you want to withhold your number permanently through your mobile phone, you should consult the user manual or call 132 to do this through the network.
On my latest phone bill, my previous bill appears to be unpaid but I have paid it. Why is this?
Check to see if payment was made just before or even after your last bill was printed. If so, it was simply too late to be included. In such a case you can call 132 and find out the precise amount that is outstanding. To be certain that your bill is always paid on time, you should set up a Standing Order with your bank.
How do I change the address to which my bill is sent?
You can register a change of address at any Cytashop or at any store on the Cyta sales network, by calling 132 or by going online, provided that you do not receive an itemised bill for your number. A change of address can be submitted in writing, giving your full name, your mobile phone number, your Identity Card number and, of course, your new billing address.
How do I activate MCN (Missed Call Notification)?
You can activate MCN by texting On MCN to 8000 free of charge (in Cyprus).
