South African mobile numbers explained

A South African mobile number is 9 digits after +27, starting with 6, 7 or 8, for example +27 82 123 4567. The main mobile networks are Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Telkom. Apps check that the number looks like a real South African mobile line, which is why a local number is accepted where a foreign or VoIP number is often refused. Local time is SAST (UTC+2), and codes from South African services arrive straight away at any hour.

Free or private South African number?

The free number is lent to you for one code and then goes back to the pool, so an app may say it was used before. That is fine for a quick sign-up or a test. For an account you want to keep, for banking and payment apps, or when today's free numbers are gone, use a private non-VoIP South African number: it is yours alone, it is a real mobile line that apps accept, and you only pay when the code arrives.

Frequently asked questions

Is the free South Africa number really free?

Yes. You pay nothing and need no account. Every visitor can receive up to 5 free codes a day. When the free numbers for the day are used up, you can buy a private South Africa number and pay only if the code arrives.

How do I get a temporary South African number for OTP?

Choose South Africa in the list above, pick the app you are signing up for and tick the security check. You get a South African mobile number at once; enter it in the app, ask for the code and it appears on this page.

What is the country code for South Africa?

South Africa numbers start with +27. A mobile number is 9 digits after +27, starting with 6, 7 or 8, for example +27 82 123 4567. The number we give you already includes +27, so paste it as it is, or drop +27 if the app asks for the country separately.

Can I use a South African number for WhatsApp or Telegram?

Often yes: pick WhatsApp or Telegram in the app list. Because these numbers are used by many people over time, an app may say the number is already registered; then ask for another number or use a private South Africa number that is yours alone.

How long can I use the free South Africa number?

Five minutes, for one code. Enter the number in the app right away; the code usually shows within a minute. After that the number goes back to the pool, so do not use it for an account you need to recover later.

What if the code does not arrive?

Wait the full five minutes. If nothing comes, the number closes by itself and it does not count towards your 5 free codes. Ask for a new number, or pick another app or country.
