Empowering entrepreneurs across South Africa

Switch Mobile was founded after identifying a market need for a specialist multi-network pre-paid sim distribution supplier. The Company has since evolved further and today we not only offer pre-paid sim cards on behalf of all the South African cellular networks, but also offer our customers RICA functionality and the ability to sell value added products such as pre-paid airtime, data and electricity.

​We believe in offering our customers the best in market service, product diversity and POS solutions at the best price and pride ourselves in fostering long-term relationships to ensure we deliver profitable, sustainable growth.
