FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know about VoIP, SIP and Hosted PBX in South Africa.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) lets you make phone calls using your internet connection instead of traditional phone lines. It converts your voice into digital data that travels over the internet, giving you significant cost savings and richer features.
Most South African businesses save 40–60% on their phone bills by switching to VoIP. National calls cost only R0.29/min and mobile calls R0.59/min versus traditional landline rates — and international is cheaper still.
You can use IP phones, a softphone on your computer, or a VoIP app on your smartphone. Many businesses keep existing handsets using an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter).
A minimum of 100 kbps up/down per concurrent call. So 10 simultaneous calls need at least 1 Mbps — we recommend 2–3 Mbps for quality assurance.
Yes. With proper connectivity and a quality provider like DataPhone, VoIP is extremely reliable. We offer a 99.9% uptime SLA and redundant infrastructure across South African networks.
Yes — we support number porting. You can transfer your existing landline or mobile number to our system, usually within 7–14 business days.
Yes. Our VoIP and geographic numbers can be registered on WhatsApp — including WhatsApp Business — so you can run calls and chat from the same business number your customers already know.
A Hosted PBX is a cloud-based phone system. Instead of buying expensive on-site hardware, your phone system runs in the cloud — cutting cost and maintenance while increasing flexibility.
VoIP is the technology that carries voice over the internet. SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is one of the protocols used to set up and manage those calls. Think of VoIP as the car and SIP as the engine.
Yes. We recommend a UPS backup for your router and phones, and our cloud infrastructure runs on generator backup with full redundancy.
We can automatically forward calls to mobile numbers if your connection fails, and you can configure backup routes to keep business running.
