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?

Your SIM card is blocked if you enter the wrong PIN number three (3) times in a row. To unblock your SIM you’ll need a PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code.

You'll find your PUK code:

  • on the info letter you received on the connection day, if you are on a monthly plan
  • on your starter kit (package) if you are on a soeasy plan
  • by calling 132 Customer Support Center
  • by visiting a Cyta's shop
  • by visiting a Cyta partner network's shop

Take care when you enter your PUK code into your phone, you'll block your SIM card again if you enter the wrong code ten (10) times in a row.

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.
