Melon is South Africa’s first truly digital mobile operator.

A seed was planted

Our story is short but sweet.

We noticed that our friends and family were getting the rind side of the melon for way to long and decided to change things up a little. We’re a mix of tech experts, entrepreneurs and creatives who looked at the way mobile was and then found a better way to do it.

We decided to keep things simple, let you control your mobile needs and make everything a little more digital. From a small seed to a new way to mobile, that’s the Melon story.

We let you Build Your Own Plan.

You can build your own data, voice, and text plan, based on what you need. You can also change it, anytime.

Or choose a Melon Plan.

We’ve also done our homework and created packages based on mobile use patterns to help you choose a plan more easily.

We even let you Try Before You Buy.

Best of all, we want you to try Melon before you buy it. So, we’re giving you free data, minutes and texts to use as you please. Gratis.
