What your credit buys
$5.00 of credit is roughly 5 min of calls to South Africa, and $10.00 is about 10 min. Both figures use the mobile rate — the higher of the two — so a landline call runs longer than that.
Calling South Africa — common questions
- How much does it cost to call South Africa?
- $0.75 per minute, billed in whole minutes — part of a minute counts as one. You see the rate before the call rings, and again on every line of your history.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. heyphone runs in your browser — a microphone and some credit is all it takes. The person in South Africa receives an ordinary phone call and needs no app.
- Can I call mobiles in South Africa?
- Yes — mobiles and landlines both. The two prices are listed separately above because mobile is usually the dearer of the two.
