Is Telkom really a mobile network?

Yes. Telkom is best known for fixed lines, but Telkom Mobile runs its own cellular network, and it carries the largest share of our South African pool. Vodacom and MTN are close behind, so all three work for spreading accounts across separate networks.

Can I get a Cell C IP?

Cell C appears in our pool with a small share. Since June 2023 its prepaid customers have used MTN's radio network and its contract customers Vodacom's, so a Cell C connection runs over one of those.

Which provinces and cities are covered?

Gauteng is the deepest, through Johannesburg and Pretoria, followed by KwaZulu-Natal (Durban), the Western Cape (Cape Town), and the Eastern Cape (Gqeberha, listed as Port Elizabeth). Polokwane, Bloemfontein, and Emalahleni have fewer devices.

What does a local IP change on Takealot and Amazon.co.za?

Both stores price in rand and deliver to South African addresses, so the offers, delivery promises, and ads worth checking are the ones local visitors get. A South African carrier IP shows that view instead of the international one.

How is the mobile IP figure on this page counted?

It is the number of rotating mobile IPs our pool reaches here over a month, from our own network data and rounded down: a measure of depth rather than a fixed inventory.

How do I connect, and can I keep one IP for a whole session?

Use the standard HTTP or SOCKS5 credentials in any antidetect browser, scraper, or script, and choose per-request rotation, a timed interval, or a sticky session that holds one IP; activation is instant, with no KYC.

What to expect in South Africa

Vodacom is South Africa's largest network, and MTN, Telkom, and rain run the others, while Cell C has run its customers over MTN and Vodacom radio since 2023. Our South African pool is led by Telkom, with Vodacom and MTN close behind. Johannesburg and Pretoria have the most devices, then Cape Town and Durban.

3G is on its way out. ICASA outlined plans in 2024 to switch off 2G and 3G by the end of 2027, and Vodacom expects its 3G to close first. Opensignal still finds about 10% of connections on 2G or 3G.

Takealot is the country's largest online retailer, and Amazon.co.za has competed with it since May 2024. Bing takes about 4% of mobile searches beside Google's 95%, and iOS runs about a quarter of phones.
