What if my phone was included in the package?
If you have a Contract or TopUp package with us, your bill will only show the make and model of your phone – with no charge attached. It’s included in your contract, so don’t worry!
Do I have to pay for itemised billing?
Depending on your Contract, itemised Billing may be Mandatory. If you have opted in for itemised billing, you will be charged a monthly fee, which depends on the option you have chosen (either email or snail mail). We will not charge you for your statement and invoice via email, but any other options may have additional charges.
Customers who have not opted in or if it is not mandatory for that contract, you may request Itemised Billing on a once-off basis at a R49 fee.
