How it works

Terminating calls to South Africa

Calls to South Africa (+27) are priced by each route's own rate sheet, by the longest matching prefix of the number, the same way the call is billed. Across the 13 routes live today the lowest rates per minute are mobile from $0.0491 (13 routes) and country-wide rate from $0.0614 (12 routes). The country-wide rate is what a route charges for a number it has no more specific row for.

Mobile rates are broken out by operator, so the network you reach sets the price: CellC from $0.0491, Vodacom from $0.0524, Telekom from $0.0555, MTN from $0.0563 and Neotel from $0.0803. Enter a full number in the box above to see what every route charges for it.

On caller ID, 13 routes state Full CLI. On billing, 12 routes bill per second (1/1), the rest per minute (60/60). None of these routes states an answer-seizure ratio yet. On the marketplace a listing that has carried enough real calls shows its measured ASR, ACD and NER.
