Call South Africa

International Calls to South Africa from your landline or mobile in 3 Easy Steps:

The call cost advertised to call 08 and 09 access numbers will be charged by BT, Sky, o2 Landline, Vodafone landline and Orange Landlines. The cost of the international call is included in the advertised rate. All networks charge a connection fee between 9 and 13.24p, calls from a Virgin or TalkTalk phone are slightly higher and the rates can be found on the FAQs page. You must have the bill payer's permission. Calls are charged from time of connection to the service. The charge is incurred even if the destination number is engaged or the call is not answered. Therefore we advise to replace the handset after a short period if the calls are engaged or unanswered.
