The 3-2-1 Service in the DRC uses the “42502” short code rather than “321.”
Service 42502 launched in DRC in March 2017.
Vodacom’s 42502 Service is extraordinary in that it is offered in several national languages in order to respond to the information needs of every Congolese person, no matter their level of education or literacy.
