If you select a usage-based package you pay a low monthly fee plus you’ll pay for all the calls you make. If you select an Unlimited package, you will pay a fixed monthly fee based on the number of concurrent calls you require and you will be able to make unlimited calls to South African local, national and mobile destinations, plus a number of popular international destinations.
Switch Telecom can offer you a new number with your solution or you can port your existing number.

No, but we would recommend contacting us to discuss which equipment works best.
If you have purchased a Switch Telecom device then the VoIP phones are automatically configured. As a result, you will be ready to make and receive calls as soon as the device is connected to a broadband connection.
If you have your own device we will assist in configuring it using our secure auto-provisioning system. We do not guarantee that we will be able to auto-provision every device. However, we have standard setup procedures that are easily followed and which apply to the majority of technology.
Switch Telecom offer both Prepaid (Advance) and Postpaid (Arrears) payment options.
On Postpaid billing the invoice is automatically generated and emailed on the 1st of each month in respect of that month’s service fee and the previous month’s calls.
Payment is collected strictly via debit order three working days later.
Subscribers who have elected to pay in advance will need to pay via EFT or by Credit Card on a strictly prepaid basis. Airtime top-ups purchased using a Credit Card on the Switch Telecom Client Zone are immediate whereas EFT payments are subject to bank clearance delays.
These call charges are largely controlled by the service provider that people who phone you are using. Under normal circumstances they should be similair to standard calling rates.
