The hadeda has landed.
Hadeda Mobile is now live in the UK — real plans, real numbers, no contract.
Built for South Africans in the UK — and the ones on their way. Simple plans. Proper value. No contracts. No drama.
Your network. Your people. Your connection.
All plans include unlimited UK calls and texts. Monthly subscription — cancel anytime.

Travelling in Europe
Most networks bake European roaming into every plan, so you pay for it every month whether you leave the country or not. We don’t. Your plan is a UK plan at a UK price — and when you travel, you add a Europe travel data pack for that trip.
27 EU countries plus Switzerland and Turkey.
A fixed price for the trip. Video calls home included. Travel data works in Europe, not in the UK.
A one-off purchase, not a subscription. Buy one for the next trip, or don’t.

Calls home
The Hadeda Caller app is live on the App Store and Google Play. Call South African landlines and mobiles over wifi or your data — and the person you’re calling sees a South African number, so they pick up. Sign in with your hadedamobile.co.uk account and the app picks up your plan automatically.
For Hadeda subscribers, to landlines and mobiles alike. 9p a minute without a Hadeda plan.
Your calls show a South African number rather than an unfamiliar UK one. It’s a shared calling number, so it isn’t one you can be reached on.
Sign in with your Hadeda account and the app recognises your plan, so you get the subscriber rate. Calls come off your Caller balance, not your data.
Going home for a while
Back in South Africa for December, or for a few months? Pause your plan instead of cancelling it. It costs nothing while you’re away, your number stays yours, and your plan starts again on the date you choose.
You pay nothing at all while your plan is paused. Choose how long before you go.
Nobody else gets it while you’re away. No porting, no starting again with a new number when you’re back.
You set the resume date when you pause, and your plan restarts on it. Nothing to remember while you’re away.
Book it yourself in My Account — choose your dates before you travel, and your pause starts at your next monthly renewal.
Created by people who understand the move, the adjustment, and the quiet pull of home. We know what it means to start over — and how much the small things matter.
Landing in the UK and realising even getting connected feels harder than it should? That’s exactly why we built this. A network that doesn’t treat you like a number.
No jargon. No unnecessary extras. Just a mobile service that works — dependable, honest, and familiar while you find your feet.
Not loud. Not flashy. Just quietly reliable. Like home, in its own way.
“If you know the sound, you already understand.”
Pick the data that suits you. All plans include unlimited calls and texts.
Receive your eSIM instantly by email. Scan the QR code and you’re connected.
Your plan auto-renews monthly. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime.
Choose your plan and pay with your South African card. No UK bank account, no UK address, no credit check. Your first month starts when your plan activates, so buy a week or two before you travel.
Your UK number goes live straight away, and texts start arriving on it while you’re still at home. That’s enough to open bank, job and rental applications before you land.
Calls start working the moment you’re in the UK. No airport queue, no shop to find, no waiting.
Yes. Buy and install it while you're still in South Africa, and your UK number is live immediately.
When your plan activates, not when you land — so buy close to your travel date to get the most out of your first month.
You'll receive texts on your UK number, which is what banks, employers and landlords send verification codes to. Calls start working once you're in the UK.
No. And there's no credit check.
Yes. All prices are in pounds, and your bank may add its own international transaction fee.
Nothing. Your number is already yours — calls and data simply start working.
South Africans newly arrived in the UK — still figuring out the plugs, the weather, and why nobody braais.
Those who’ve been here for years and are tired of networks that don’t know you from Adam.
Parents helping children get settled — because you want to know they’re connected.
When you try to explain that ‘just now’ means later, a ‘robot’ is a traffic light, and ‘shame’ is a term of endearment. They don’t get it. We do.
The one who Googles ‘biltong near me’ at midnight and tries to explain to colleagues why it’s not just beef jerky.
Anyone who still calls home — often. Because ouma doesn’t do WhatsApp, and you need to hear that familiar voice.
You can even register before you arrive in the UK.
Your network. Your people. Your connection. No contracts. No nonsense. Just right.
“If you know the sound, you already understand.”
