Telkom LTE SIM Compatible Devices | Phones, Tablets, MiFi

What "Compatible" Means

A Telkom LTE mobile data SIM will only work in a device that supports Telkom's LTE frequency bands and has a physical SIM slot (or eSIM support with Telkom LTE compatibility, where applicable). Most modern phones, tablets and MiFi devices sold in South Africa are compatible — but it's worth checking before you order, especially with older or imported devices.

Confirm before ordering

"Generally compatible" means most modern devices in that category work, but it's not a guarantee for every model. Contact Dalkom support if you want to confirm your exact device before ordering.

How to Check Your Device

Look up your phone, tablet or router's specification sheet (usually on the manufacturer's website or box) and check the supported LTE bands. If you're not sure how to find this, send Dalkom support your device's exact make and model and we'll help confirm compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the SIM in my cellphone?

Yes, in any LTE-enabled phone that supports the Telkom LTE frequency bands. Most modern smartphones sold in South Africa support these bands, but contact Dalkom support before ordering if you are unsure about a specific model.

Can I use the SIM in a tablet?

Yes, in any LTE-enabled tablet with a physical SIM card slot that supports Telkom LTE bands. WiFi-only tablets without a SIM slot cannot use a physical SIM directly.

Can I use the SIM in a MiFi or portable WiFi router?

Yes. MiFi devices that support Telkom LTE bands will work, letting you share data across multiple devices while on the move.

Can I use the SIM in a fixed LTE router?

Compatibility depends on whether your router supports the Telkom LTE bands. This mobile data SIM is designed for portable use — for a dedicated home router setup, see Dalkom's Fixed LTE packages instead.

Does the SIM come locked to a specific device?

No. The SIM itself is not locked to any device — you can move it between a compatible phone, tablet or MiFi as needed, as long as the device supports Telkom LTE bands.

What if my device isn't compatible?

Contact Dalkom support before ordering. We can help confirm compatibility so you don't receive a SIM that won't work in your device.
