How to register for SMS and USSD
SMS-
The Learner will send an SMS to 35658
The SMS will consist of a keyword followed by the ID number and student number.
The system verifies the keyword, the ID number and the exam number; both numbers must have 13 Digits in order to be accepted. The ID number will also be subjected to an algorithm that identifies if the ID number is a valid South African ID number.
After the learner has successfully registered, they will receive their results on the day of release.
USSD-
It is a text based conversation which allows the user to select multiple choice answers.
The learners will dial *120*35658#, put in their ID number and they will get their results per subject.
Good luck to all the matriculants waiting for their results!
