FAQ — South African phone numbers
Find clear answers about South African numbers and how they work for your business.
When someone calls your South African number, you hear a short announcement or beep before the call connects. This lets you identify South African calls and answer appropriately.
We offer numbers in all major South African cities: 11 (Johannesburg), 21 (Cape Town), 31 (Durban), 12 (Pretoria), 41 (Port Elizabeth), 51 (Bloemfontein) and more. National 87 and toll-free 800 numbers are also available.
It depends on the number type. Toll-free 800 and national 87 numbers accept a worldwide address. Local geographic numbers require a South African address. CallFactory can assist you with this during setup.
An 87 national number is not tied to any city and works the same across all of South Africa. A local geographic number carries a city prefix such as 11 for Johannesburg or 21 for Cape Town, which signals a local presence in that specific city.
Yes. Calls to your South African number are forwarded to any Irish landline, mobile or VoIP destination. You can change the forwarding destination at any time through your online account.
No. South African toll-free 800 numbers can only be dialled from within South Africa. Callers outside South Africa should use your local geographic number, your 87 national number or your standard Irish number.
South Africa is two hours ahead of Ireland (SAST, UTC+2) and does not observe daylight saving time. During summer, the difference is just one hour, making it one of the most convenient African markets to serve from Ireland.
