If you truly want to change your phone number with SASSA, you need to do so via their SASSA portal. Without such an account, you won’t be able to make any changes. And even if you ask SASSA to change your contact details, they will first verify whether or not you are the original applicant who submitted the application form. They will also require that you provide your 13-digit South African identity number and your six-digit application ID before issuing a new mobile number.

In addition, only one submission request is allowed within a 24-hour period in order for them to update your contact details while other requests will be denied due to lack of availability. So make sure that when requesting the updated mobile number, you submit it with haste because it’s not likely that this process will be available again later.
