Melon Mobile offers free trial on network

Melon Mobile has launched a groundbreaking campaign inviting all South Africans to experience their mobile network — for free. 

The company is offering a 14-day free trial with 5GB Data plus unlimited Calls & Texts, allowing consumers to take their service for a test drive with no pressure or obligation. 

Calvin Collett, Founder and CEO of Melon Mobile, said mobile offerings have not really evolved at the same pace as technology. 

What’s the catch? 

“We think that needs to change, because the world around us has changed. We want everyone to experience the freedom, control, and value that our digital journey offers, without any constraints of physical stores.”

However, there is a catch. After the 14-day trial period, users will automatically be placed on the 5GB Unlimited Plan for R199 per month unless they choose to change plans or opt out before the trial period ends. 

eSim

Melon Mobile is also leading the pack in South Africa’s mobile services sector with in-app features such as eSIM and Family Plans. 

Collet said these offerings solidify their commitment to moving away from traditional in-store retail, providing consumers with a modern, flexible, and entirely digital mobile experience.

 “eSIM is another step towards a truly digital mobile company. Our customers now have the choice to use our service over eSIM or physical SIM, or even have an eSIM as a secondary SIM to take advantage of our competitive Data & Voice prices, especially when they are locked into long-term contracts they can’t get out of.”

Melon Mobile said its entrance into the consumer market has redefined the mobile experience with a “customer-centric approach. 

“This campaign underscores their belief in the power and reliability of their network, challenging millions of South Africans to break free from their current networks and experience the Melon Mobile difference for themselves,” Melon Mobile said.
