Staying in Touch

Not all cellphones (mobile phones) are compatible with the South African dual band system and it would be worth checking this before leaving your country. Also make sure that your phone is set for international roaming, but bear in mind that phone calls made from outside South Africa to your cell phone will incur high cost to both yourself and the caller.

If your telephone does not work in South Africa, cellphones can be hired for the duration of your stay, at a very reasonable cost.

To dial a number from a landline in South Africa, the full number, including area code, must be dialed.

If you are going to be using a telephone provided at your place of accommodation, please avoid any unpleasant surprises and find out before you start making calls, what the establishment's telephone rates are.

To make an international call from within South Africa, the number must be prefixed with 09, followed by the international code of the country you are dialing and then the rest of the number.

If you are outside South Africa and trying to make a call to a South African number, our incoming international dialing code is 27. Our area codes all begin with a 0 and this should be dropped. For example, 031 555 5555, when dialed from outside South Africa, would become (your outgoing code) 27 31 555 5555.
