Africastalking Plans Pricing

Africa's Talking uses prepaid, usage-based pricing. Customers top up an account wallet and pay per unit consumed: per SMS sent, per USSD session, per minute or per call leg for Voice, a percentage or flat transaction fee for Payments, and the face value plus margin for Airtime and Mobile Data. Per-unit rates vary by country and carrier and are quoted in local currency, so they are not reconciled here. There are no fixed Free / Pro / Enterprise tiers; volume and enterprise rates are negotiated with sales.
