Leveraging access to vast and capable networks of the country’s primary mobile network operators, MVNOs are seeing rapid growth in South Africa.
Customers using MTN-based MVNOs should theoretically be better protected against fraudulent SIM swaps than customers on some major mobile networks.
Many MVNOs don’t offer international SMS roaming, which can increase your risk of falling victim to a fraudulent SIM swap.
Absa is in talks to launch its own mobile virtual network operator in South Africa, with Cell C one of the shortlisted wholesale providers.
FNB Connect CEO Sashin Sookroo explains how the MVNO’s strategy differs from its competitors and hints at big Black Friday deals in 2025.
FNB’s mobile virtual network operator, FNB Connect, generated revenue amounting to R22 billion in the 2024/25 financial year.
The new MVNO appears to have quietly gone live earlier this week and is available exclusively to the bank’s customers.
