One thing worth being clear about: every Hopetel plan carries one concurrent call. That means one conversation at a time on the line. It suits sole traders, consultants, small offices and anyone replacing a single landline. If you need several staff on calls simultaneously, you would need multiple lines — talk to us first and we will tell you honestly whether Hopetel fits before you buy.

Pricing questions

Is there a setup or activation fee?+
No. There is no setup fee and no fixed contract on any plan. Your line is active within one business day, and you can cancel at any time.
What happens if I use more than my included minutes?+
Calls continue — nothing is cut off mid-call. Minutes beyond your bundle are billed per second at our standard rate, which is confirmed to you at sign-up. We email you when you reach 80% of your included minutes so there are no surprises.
How many calls can I make at the same time?+
One. Every plan includes a single concurrent call, which means one conversation at a time on that line. If your business needs several simultaneous calls, you would need more than one line — contact us and we will work out what you actually need.
Can I keep my existing number?+
Yes. Number porting costs R250 once-off and typically takes about 3 working days. Your existing number keeps working right up until the switchover completes.
Do I need to buy a desk phone?+
No. Hopetel works on any SIP-compatible softphone app on a phone, laptop or tablet, so you can start with no hardware at all. Desk phones and cordless handsets are available from R899 once-off if you prefer one.
Do unused minutes carry over?+
No. Bundles reset each month and unused minutes do not roll over. If you regularly finish the month well under your bundle, move down a plan — you can change plans at any time.
Can I change plans later?+
Yes. All plans are month-to-month, so you can move up or down at any time without a penalty or a new contract.
