In a strategic move aimed at revolutionising mobile solutions for the SME sector, Melon Mobile, in collaboration with the South African Future Trust, has launched its latest product – Melon Business. This innovative offering is specifically designed to cater to the evolving needs of both emerging and established businesses operating in South Africa.
The unveiling of Melon Business comes on the heels of Melon Mobile’s entry into the consumer market just six months ago, where the brand reshaped the mobile experience with its customer-centric approach. Recognizing the challenges faced by business owners in efficiently managing staff mobile usage, Melon Business now provides SMEs with a fully digital journey. The platform offers customizable monthly plans that can adapt to changing business needs, the option of a free physical SIM or free eSIM, Data & Voice that never expire, a straightforward RICA process, same-day porting, and a dedicated support team.
The launch of Melon Business aligns with the South Africa Future Trust (SAFT) Summit, a prominent advocate for small businesses in South Africa. SA Future Trust, founded by South Africa’s Oppenheimer family, focuses on accelerating growth and job creation in the small, medium, and micro-enterprise business sector.

Melon Business provides unparalleled control, flexibility, and customization to empower business connectivity. Calvin Collett, CEO of Melon Mobile, shared the vision behind this expansion: “From the outset, our goal was to create a business-focused platform from Melon. We looked at every aspect of how mobile connectivity could benefit a business and focused on simplifying the process for business owners, operations managers, and systems administrators. By applying the insights and knowledge gained from our consumer offerings, we have adapted those strengths to meet the specific demands of business users.”
Additional Advantages of Melon Business:
- Bulk Onboarding: A streamlined process enabling businesses to effortlessly register and integrate users.
- Multi-SIM Management: Centralized management for multiple SIM cards on one account.
- Competitive Pricing: Customized Monthly Plans or a Pay As You Go option cater to varying business needs and budgets.
- Customization and Control: Enhanced ability to modify plans, update user profiles, monitor usage, and maintain administrative control.
Marius Van Rensburg, COO of Melon Mobile, further emphasized the benefits: “Melon Business extends the innovation and flexibility that Melon Mobile’s individual customers enjoy to the business sector. We provide a cost-effective, manageable, and dependable mobile service that aligns with the unique mobile and connectivity demands of any business.”
