Saicom owns the voice layer and interconnects widely across SA
Saicom’s distinguishing feature is its interconnect fabric: sixteen named direct connections to South African carriers, including all the major mobile networks, which shortens the routing chain and simplifies number porting. Its Cloud PBX and VoIP ride your internet line, so each site’s connection shapes call quality while Saicom controls the voice behind it, and Microsoft Teams Direct Routing lets you add proper PSTN calling to Teams. Pricing is quote-driven with a 24-hour turnaround, so the buyer’s job is to scope concurrent-call capacity and get the SLA credit terms in writing rather than relying on a headline uptime figure.
Who Saicom is a fit for
- SA organisations needing Tier 1 voice with deep interconnect coverage and simple number porting.
- Businesses adding PSTN calling to Microsoft Teams through Direct Routing on a licensed voice operator.
- Buyers who weight a strong, high-volume public review record when shortlisting a voice provider.

Does Saicom support Microsoft Teams calling?
Yes. Saicom offers Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, which adds PSTN calling to Teams over its licensed voice network. Scope the number of users and concurrent calls in your quote.
Will number porting be straightforward with Saicom?
Saicom’s deep direct-interconnect coverage — sixteen SA carriers including the major mobile networks — should simplify the porting chain. Confirm the porting timeline and any once-off fees at quote stage.
Can Saicom run across multiple branches?
Yes. A hosted Cloud PBX puts every site on one platform, so extensions, transfers and a single dial plan span branches over their internet links. A quote scopes the lines and concurrent-call capacity each site needs.
Does Saicom voice keep working during load-shedding?
Cloud voice needs power and internet at your premises, so an outage interrupts calls unless your router and handsets sit on a UPS or inverter. Confirm the SLA and any redundancy options in writing so the credit triggers are clear.
