About South Africa numbers
South African mobile numbers start with +27 6, 7 or 8. SIMs are RICA-registered, so banking still needs your own number.
How to receive SMS on a South Africa number
- Open Ucode on the web, iOS, Android or Telegram and add credits. Credits never expire.
- Choose the service you are verifying, then pick South Africa as the country.
- Confirm the price and rent. You get a +27 number straight away.
- Request the code in the app you are signing up to. It appears in your private Ucode inbox, usually within a minute.
- No code? After about 20 minutes the rental is cancelled and the credits are refunded.
