How it works
- Pick your provider and select South Africa
- Enter the number in international format: +27 + local number (drop the leading 0). Example: +27 82 123 4567
- Choose airtime or a data bundle — bundles are usually the better deal
- Pay securely — credit lands in seconds
Tips for South Africa top-ups
- Airtime vs. data: airtime converts to data at poor rates — buy a data bundle directly if your recipient needs internet
- Drop the leading 0 after +27 — South African mobiles are 9 digits starting with 6, 7 or 8
- Night Express and weekend data bundles are the cheapest way to send lots of data
