About this app

Yup, we said it - the first-ever fully customisable mobile network in Mzansi – built to disrupt what all the other big companies are doing, in favour of more freedom, better month-to-month plans and a more affordable way to do mobile.

Say goodbye to rigid plans, long-term contracts and all those other things that lock you in, and hello to freedom with our innovative Melon App.

Why Melon Mobile?

Ā· We’re 100% Digital: No paperwork, no stores, no frustration - we're 100% digital.
Ā· You’re in control: Whether you want to build your own month-to-month Voice & Data plan (and change it any time) or choose one of our Unlimited Calls & Texts + Data plans.
Ā· Mobile made by you: More control means a happier you. We let you decide how you want your mobile plan to work for you. Need more Data next month? Change your plan. Less Data? Change it again. You’re in charge here.
Ā· Keep your number: Switch to Melon and keep your number. Porting takes a day, and it can be done from our App.
Ā· We keep things simple: Sign-up is a breeze. Order a free SIM, complete Self-RICA, all on our App or Website, without having to visit a store.
Ā· We don’t do contracts: You’re not locked into anything with us. Build a plan, choose a plan, change a plan – it’s all up to you.

So, what’s this free trial thing?

We’re giving you the chance to put us to the test for 14 days, for free. That’s 14 days of our Unlimited Calls & Texts plus 5GB Data, for free.

Hi Gerhard, that's genuinely not okay and we're sorry. A double deduction two months running needs sorting properly. Please DM us on Facebook or Instagram with your number so we can fix the billing and lock in your payment date.

Okay so the app needs a serious UI/UX overhaul. 1. First and foremost you need to add a bit of a call to action as to what are the things I need to do. 2. I did a SIM porting from MTN to Melon and then I also had to do a transfer from an e-SIM to another e-SIM just to activate my Melon line. The app was not at all clear: did I need to click a button to activate SIM? What are the steps I needed to do? The mobile app needs to be clear on that.

I took the month free 5gb and unlimited call plan as I thought what a deal! data ran out and you cannot top up due to a fault on the app which theirnsupport says technicians are working on. I'd haven't contact support tonload data each time. It's not practical. I cancelled before payingnfr this service if this is what it's like when it's free.
