UK plan, world traveller — covered both ways
The Hadeda Plans are UK-only — no roaming. For travel data (including trips back to SA), use our sister brand EPICeSIM, which has South Africa-specific eSIMs and 190+ countries covered. As a Hadeda Mobile subscriber you get a 20% discount on EPICeSIM travel eSIMs (rising to 30% on the 10GB Plan and above) for as long as your subscription is active.
Best for
Phones that live on Wi-Fi (home and work) and just need a mobile-data buffer for the commute, errands, and maps — plus a UK number you can cancel any time. Particularly suited to SA families in the UK who keep WhatsApp text and voice messages running through the day but do their video calls on Wi-Fi at home.
Frequently asked questions
- How much is the Hadeda 3GB Plan per month?
- £5.49 per month, inc-VAT, on a 30-day rolling auto-renew. No contract or exit fees.
- Which network does Hadeda Mobile use?
- Hadeda runs on Vodafone UK. Vodafone UK and Three UK merged in May 2025 to form VodafoneThree, which has announced £11 billion of network investment over 10 years.
- How will I know if 3GB is enough for me?
- 3GB is comfortable if you mostly use mobile data for messaging, email, browsing, banking, and quick map lookups — and you do your video calls and streaming on Wi-Fi at home and work. If you stream music on a commute, take video calls away from Wi-Fi, or hotspot a laptop, look at the 5GB Plan at £6.49 or the 10GB Plan at £8.99. The 10GB Plan also raises your EPICeSIM travel discount from 20% to 30%.
- eSIM or physical SIM — which should I pick?
- eSIM activation is typically completed in a few minutes via QR code (timing depends on your handset), free, and works on any iPhone XS or newer and recent Samsung Galaxy and Pixel models. A physical nano-SIM is the right call if your phone is older, if you want to use both physical SIM slots for two networks, or if you simply prefer a card.
- Can I use my Hadeda eSIM or SIM in a 5G router or MiFi device?
- No. Hadeda Mobile eSIMs and SIMs are licensed for use in a phone — one device, one customer. Use in dedicated routers, MiFi devices, or other non-phone hardware is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy. Mobile hotspot from your phone (tethering to a laptop or tablet) is fully supported.
- What’s Hadeda Caller, and how is it different from WhatsApp?
- Hadeda Caller is a calling app that can dial any South African phone number — mobiles, landlines, business lines, banks, hospitals, schools, hotels, restaurants. The person you call sees a South African caller ID, so it looks like a local call. Apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, and Signal can usually only call other users of the same app — Hadeda Caller reaches the number you actually need. Subscriber rates start from 4.2p/min to SA mobiles. Full rate card available in your Hadeda Mobile account dashboard.
- Can I add more data mid-month?
- Yes. Buy a one-off data bolt-on from your dashboard, or upgrade to the 5GB Plan from the next cycle.
- Can I port my UK number to Hadeda?
- Yes. Request a PAC from your current provider, submit it during sign-up, and your number transfers within one working day.
