Smart and affordable calling to South Africa with Firsty
Calling South Africa often feels like something you put off. High call charges, unclear rates, a mobile subscription you barely use and a mobile provider that slips in extra costs the moment you cross a border. Especially when you ring a mobile phone or a landline phone abroad, you end up calculating every second. It does not have to be that way.
Firsty is all about smart calling. No fine print, no mobile network quietly moving you into a higher zone, no hidden extras. Firsty proves that cheap calling to South Africa is possible. Whether you dial a mobile number or a landline number, you get one transparent rate per minute. There is no connection fee and no unpleasant surprises.
How calling South Africa works with Firsty
Open the Firsty app and dial any phone number in South Africa over a stable internet connection or mobile network. Start with the correct country code. For South Africa that is +27. In digits that is 0027. Then enter the local number without the leading 0. The app instantly recognises whether you are ringing a landline phone or a mobile phone and displays the exact rate per minute.
Your call bundle is linked to your account. The second you place a call you see how many minutes remain, what the rate is and whether any extra costs apply. Spoiler alert: there are none. With Firsty transparent calling comes as standard. You decide what you spend, you know the price up front and your bundle is charged per second.
What does it cost to call South Africa
Traditional providers make calling South Africa expensive. Many charge 30 cents per minute or more, plus a connection fee! That adds up fast, especially to a mobile number. Firsty asks only 8 cents per minute to both landline and mobile. You pay solely for what you use and your bundle never expires.
That makes Firsty not just an affordable provider but an honest alternative to any mobile provider or fixed-line operator. No mobile subscription, no landline contract, only a bundle you activate when it suits you.
Other countries are just as affordable
Cheap calling is not limited to South Africa. With Firsty you call worldwide at surprisingly low rates. Phoning the United States costs 1 cent per minute. A call to the United Kingdom is also 1 cent. Even calling a number in India is only 4 cents per minute.
Every rate appears in the app before you connect. You see the price, you see the seconds ticking, and you never pay a connection fee or round-up. That is what transparent calling means.
Your bundle moves at your pace
Firsty never locks you into a complicated call bundle. You pick what you need. Bundles of 1, 5, 10, 20 or 50 euro are ready whenever you want them. They keep their value until you finish them. There are no monthly costs and no awkward cancellation periods.
In the app you track exactly what you use, how many minutes remain and the current rate for each destination. Whether you call occasionally or chat every day with family abroad, there is always a bundle that fits your style.
More than calls: mobile internet in South Africa
