| Mobile networks in South Africa | Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, rain |
| 5G | Yes, mobile 5G since May 2020 |
| Network type of a port | 4G LTE or 5G, depending on the carrier's coverage where the modem sits |
| Stock | Dedicated ports are subject to stock per country and carrier; the checkout lists the carriers in stock. If we cannot deliver your port within 24 hours, its full price goes back to your balance |

Which mobile networks can a proxy in South Africa use?
South Africa has 4 main mobile networks in the CellMast country data: Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, rain. A port in South Africa runs on one of them. Before you pay, the checkout lists the carriers in stock; after the purchase, the client area shows the network and the current IP of each port.
Each network announces its own IP ranges under its own ASN, so a website can tell which carrier a visitor uses. Pick the network your users are on when the carrier matters to your test.
South Africa mobile networks and their ASNs
| Network | Holder of the IP ranges | ASN | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vodacom | Vodacom | AS29975 | tagged mobile by ipinfo |
| MTN | MTN SA | AS16637 | tagged mobile by ipinfo |
| Cell C | Cell C (Pty) Ltd | AS37168 | tagged mobile by ipinfo |
| Telkom | Telkom SA Ltd. | AS37457 | tagged mobile by ipinfo |
ASN holders checked in public routing data (RIPEstat, ipinfo or PeeringDB) in October 2026. An ASN can carry fixed and mobile traffic; check a port's own IP before relying on it.
ICASA reported 5G population coverage of 58.0% and 4G coverage of 99.5% in 2025, and 117.3 million mobile subscriptions on 30 September 2025.
Is there 5G in South Africa?
rain opened Africa's first commercial 5G network, a home service, on 18 September 2019; Vodacom's mobile 5G followed in May 2020.
A CellMast port uses 5G only where its carrier offers 5G at the modem's location; elsewhere it runs on 4G LTE. The client area shows the network type of each port. For when 5G is worth it, see 4G vs 5G proxies.

How do I connect to a mobile IP in South Africa?
A dedicated port has its own username and password in the client area. The rotating pool uses your account username with the country code za; add a session id and a duration for a sticky IP.
# dedicated port (credentials of the port)
curl -x http://PORT_USER:[email protected]:7777 https://api.ipify.org
# rotating pool: a new {{name}} IP on each connection
curl -x http://USERNAME-country-{{code|lower}}:[email protected]:7777 https://api.ipify.org
# rotating pool: same IP for 10 minutes
curl -x http://USERNAME-country-{{code|lower}}-session-a1-ttl-10:[email protected]:7777 https://api.ipify.orgFor South Africa, the country code is za. Rotate a dedicated port with its link, https://cellmast.com/api/v1/mobile/{port}/rotate?key=API_KEY, where {port} is the port ID shown in the client area (copy the ready-made link from there); see the rotation API.
South Africa mobile proxy: questions
How much is a South Africa mobile proxy per month?
A dedicated port in South Africa costs $20.25 for 30 days at CellMast, as of October 2026, with unlimited data. Shorter rentals cost $2.63 for one day and $11.25 for seven days. South Africa is in the Middle East, Africa & Central Asia price zone. Rotating mobile data starts at $1.50/GB.
Can I choose the carrier in South Africa?
Yes, subject to stock per carrier. If the network you want has no port in stock, pick another; support can later move your port to another network in South Africa when one is in stock, keeping the time left on the rental.
Will websites see an IP from South Africa?
Yes. Traffic leaves through a modem on a carrier network in South Africa, so websites see an IP from that carrier's ranges and locate it in South Africa. IP databases place mobile addresses near the carrier's gateway, which may be a region or a large city rather than the modem's exact town.
Do I need a local SIM card, an address or ID?
No. The SIM stays in CellMast's modem, and CellMast does not ask for ID, a selfie or documents to open an account or buy a plan. Login with an account number; email is optional. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, in US dollars, from a $25 top-up.
What happens if no port in South Africa can be delivered?
Within 72 hours of purchase, a rotating-mobile plan is credited back to your balance if you used less than 20% of its traffic and no more than 1 GB; a plan that does not work, and that support cannot fix within 24 hours, is credited back in full. Dedicated ports: within 24 hours of delivery (2 hours for a 1-day port), the port is credited back to your balance in full if it does not work and we cannot fix or replace it, or if it has carried less than 500 MB. A port we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. If a port stops working later and support cannot fix it within 24 hours, the lost days are credited back. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it. Support answers at [email protected]. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week.
