This includes all land telephone numbers in South Africa irrespective of the time of day. A call to the United Kingdom would cost you 19c per minute. Cellular calls cost about R2.11 per minute, so stick to the cellular phone if calling other cellular phones.
Telkom charges 57c as a minimum charge per call irrespective of the length of the call.
