Important tech talk

When you sign up with Vobi:

  • You’ll be able to make and receive high quality Voice and video calls over Fibre Wi-Fi, LTE and 5G and Wireless on the Vox network.
  • You’ll get your own Vobi number through your new SIP account (which stands for Session Initiation Protocol calling). This means that you will have a different number when you make Vobi calls via your existing mobile phone (so one mobile phone with two numbers on it).
    • This SIP number will be an 087 number.
    • If you prefer, you can request a geographically-located number, for example one that begins with 010 if you’re in Johannesburg – it’s your choice. Please note that there is an additional charge for this option.
  • Alternatively, you have the option to move (‘port’) your existing number to Vox, which you can use on the Vobi app.
  • Enjoy low call rates across all networks in South Africa, or call from wherever you are in the world without the use of high cost roaming charges.
  • A note about RICA: This is the South African legislation that governs the interception or monitoring of paper-based and electronic communications. Its purpose is to protect the security and privacy of South Africans. So when you are setting up your account, you will have to submit some documentation to validate your ID.
