Public tool

Network confirmation tool

Check which South African mobile network a number belongs to before you send airtime or data. It is useful when a number has ported and you want the recharge to land on the right network.

For bulk recharge teams

Use the public lookup here for quick checks, or connect the Network Lookup API when you need this inside your own workflow.

Before you recharge

Confirm the network first

Enter the cell number in standard South African format. SIMcloud will confirm the current mobile network and show the result immediately after the captcha check.

Works well for ported numbers and once-off checks.
Use the same network logic before placing airtime or data orders.
For volume lookups, use the SIMcloud API from your own account.

Use SIMcloud with AI

SIMcloud can be connected to ChatGPT, Codex, and other AI tools so you can look up networks, check balances, send SMS messages, and place airtime, data, or electricity orders from your own SIMcloud account.
