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 50GB Plan subscriber you get our top-rate 30% discount on EPICeSIM travel eSIMs for as long as your subscription is active.

Best for

Heavy mobile-first users who don’t want to ration data — people who stream on the move, take long video calls away from Wi-Fi, hotspot a laptop from their phone for work, and use their phone heavily through the day. Particularly suited to South African students at UK universities who travel between campus, the library, and home; recent SA arrivals settling into UK life; and parents back in SA buying a generous UK plan for their child. (Coverage and speeds vary by location.)

Frequently asked questions

Why would I pick 50GB instead of Unlimited?

If 50GB is close to your typical monthly use, the Unlimited Plan is often the better fit because it removes the cap for £1 more. The 50GB tier makes sense if you know your usage runs comfortably under the cap and you’d rather pay slightly less, or if you want to keep a clean budget line.

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.

Can I use my Hadeda eSIM or SIM in a 5G router as a home broadband replacement?

No. Hadeda Mobile eSIMs and SIMs are licensed for use in a phone — one device, one customer. Use in dedicated routers, MiFi devices, or as a primary home broadband substitute is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy. Mobile hotspot from your phone (tethering a laptop or tablet to your phone for work, study, or on the go) is fully supported and included in your 50GB allowance.

Is this a good plan for an SA student arriving at a UK university?

Yes. 30-day rolling means a parent in South Africa can pay for the plan on a UK card, the student activates the eSIM the moment they land at Heathrow, and the plan can be cancelled or downsized at the end of term. UK calls and texts are unlimited, so calls between flatmates, lecturers, and UK contacts cost nothing extra.

eSIM or physical SIM?

eSIM activation is typically completed in a few minutes via QR code (timing depends on your handset). A physical nano-SIM is posted to your UK address and works on any phone with a SIM slot, including older handsets brought from South Africa.

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.

What happens if I cancel mid-month?

You keep access until the end of your current 30-day cycle. You will not be charged again. No exit fees.

Just £1 more buys no data cap at all: Unlimited Plan at £14.99 — same network, same 30% off EPICeSIM, plus a Founder offer for the first 200 customers.
