How calling South Africa works
- 1. Enter the number. Pick South Africa in the dialer, or type the number with +27 in front. The per-minute price appears before you call.
- 2. Make your first call. Create an account with an email address — no phone verification, no card — and your first call is discounted.
- 3. Top up when you need to. Credit is pay-as-you-go and never expires. Auto top-up saves your card and refills before a call runs out, so you never retype it.
Questions about calling South Africa
- Does the person in South Africa need Kitaphone?
- No. Kitaphone dials the ordinary phone network, so the call arrives on their normal mobile or landline. They need no app, no account and no internet connection — only their phone.
- How much does it cost to call South Africa?
- $0.53 per minute to landlines and $0.42 per minute to mobiles, billed in whole minutes from prepaid credit. There is no subscription and no connection fee.
- Is the first call really free?
- South Africa costs more per minute than the free credit covers, so your first call is discounted by $0.50 rather than free outright. It applies to one call however short it runs. You pay the difference from your credit.
- What is the country code for South Africa?
- +27. Enter the number with that prefix, or pick South Africa in the dialer and Kitaphone adds it for you.
- Do I need a microphone?
- Yes — any headset or built-in microphone works. Your browser asks permission the first time you call. You can check yours on our microphone test before you dial.
