Keep your 012 number
Nothing to port. Set your existing 012 line to forward to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you’re busy or don’t pick up — and callers in Pretoria keep dialling the number on your van, sign or website. Prefer a fresh number? We allocate you a local South Africa number.
A local number, on Pretoria time
Keep your existing 012 number and forward it to your receptionist, or take a local South Africa number we allocate for you. It runs on Africa/Johannesburg time, so opening hours, bookings and your morning summary follow Pretoria’s clock, and your plan is billed in US dollars.
Holidays: South Africa’s public holidays include Human Rights Day (21 March), Freedom Day (27 April), Heritage Day (24 September) and the Day of Reconciliation (16 December); a holiday that falls on a Sunday moves to the Monday. Set your own closures and it tells callers you’re shut rather than booking them in.

Questions from Pretoria
Do I have to change my 012 phone number?
Yes. You forward calls from your existing 012 number to your Silux Voice number — every call, or only when you are busy or don’t answer — so customers in Pretoria keep ringing the number they already know. Nothing has to be ported. If you would rather have a new number, we allocate you a local South Africa number.

You set your opening hours and holiday closures, and it answers accordingly on Africa/Johannesburg time. South Africa’s public holidays include Human Rights Day (21 March), Freedom Day (27 April), Heritage Day (24 September) and the Day of Reconciliation (16 December); a holiday that falls on a Sunday moves to the Monday.
