What you need to enjoy Telkom home plans.
If you are a new subscriber, then all you need is a 4G enabled router. The router will come with:

• A 4G SIM card on home profile.(you cannot access home plans on your normal Telkom SIM unless you visit a Telkom shop to be converted to home plan)

If you already have a Telkom router, then you will need to get a 4G SIM card under Home profile.

Those on home talk can directly buy the new bundles but for better experience should ensure both their router and SIM are 4G enabled.

Telkom has two great routers:
