Netlayer — cloud PBX and business fibre provider in South Africa
Netlayer Pty Ltd operates as an internet and voice service provider across Gauteng and the Western Cape, and is one of the few companies in this directory to publish its ICASA licence references: 0476/CECNS/JUN/2014 and 0476/CECS/JUN/2014. Voice is delivered through Microsoft Teams using Phone System licences, alongside business fibre, managed IT and development work. The company is an ISPA member. Two Google profiles exist, so read both.
Key facts

| Voice services | Voice delivered through Microsoft Teams using Phone System licences, which ties the telephony to your Microsoft environment rather than to a standalone PBX |

| Coverage | Gauteng and the Western Cape, as stated on the site |
| ICASA licence | Published, which is rare: CECNS 0476/CECNS/JUN/2014 and CECS 0476/CECS/JUN/2014. These are class licences covering network services and electronic communications services. The company is also an ISPA member |

| Customer ratings — every profile | Netlayer has two Google profiles on the same phone number: the main profile at 5.0 (6 reviews) and a second at 1.0 (1 review). The card shows the first because the second falls below the five-review display floor — it is named here anyway rather than quietly dropped. Six reviews is a small sample; read it as corroboration rather than proof. |

Teams-only voice is a decision, not a detail
Netlayer delivers voice through Microsoft Teams Phone System licences rather than offering a standalone PBX, and that is a strategic choice you inherit. If your business already runs on Microsoft 365, calling inside Teams is convenient and removes a separate application. If it does not, you would be adopting Microsoft licensing to get a phone system, which is usually the wrong way round. Ask what happens to your numbers and call routing if you later leave Microsoft. On credentials the company is unusually transparent, publishing both its CECNS and CECS class licence references, which almost nothing else in this directory does. The two Google profiles disagree sharply, so read both rather than the one shown. Compare alternatives in the cloud PBX directory.
Who Netlayer is a fit for
- Businesses already running Microsoft 365 that want calling inside Teams
- Gauteng and Western Cape companies wanting fibre and voice from one supplier
- Procurement processes that require published licence references

How does Netlayer deliver voice?
Through Microsoft Teams using Phone System licences, rather than as a standalone PBX. That suits a business already on Microsoft 365 and is a bigger commitment for one that is not, since you would be adopting Microsoft licensing to get telephony.
Is Netlayer ICASA licensed?
Yes, and it publishes the references: CECNS 0476/CECNS/JUN/2014 and CECS 0476/CECS/JUN/2014. Those are class licences for network services and electronic communications services. The company is also an ISPA member.
Why are there two Google profiles?
Two profiles share the company’s phone number, one rating 5.0 from 6 reviews and another rating 1.0 from 1. WhichVoIP shows the one with the qualifying sample and names the other so you can read both before deciding.
Where is Netlayer based?
No street address is published. The site gives PO Box 518, Noordwyk, and the main Google profile lists Gateway West, 22 Magwa Crescent. Ask which office would service your account.
Which areas does Netlayer cover?
Gauteng and the Western Cape, as stated on the site. Fibre availability within those provinces is still an address-level question.
What does it cost?
No pricing is published. Ask for the business fibre monthly charge, the Microsoft Phone System licensing cost per user, and per-minute call rates as three separate figures.
