      Network Usage Tips

      ⚠️
      remote/nature reserve

      National parks and remote rural areas (such as the Kalahari Desert) may experience signal disruptions. It is recommended to download offline maps in advance.

      ⚠️
      Underground transportation area

      Some sections of the Johannesburg Gautrain metro have weak signals and may automatically switch to 3G networks when entering tunnels.

      ⚠️
      high-density building area

      Signal attenuation is common in old buildings or concrete structures, and staying near windows can improve connection stability.

      Price Evaluation

      South Africa has extensive mobile network coverage with affordable pricing, and Telkom SA offers particularly cost-effective packages. It is recommended to choose between Daily or Total packages based on the duration of your trip and data usage. For group sharing, the Total package is more economical and practical.
