As one of South Africa’s leading construction company’s we know all about the importance of solid, consistent and reliable structures, we apportion similar importance to the people we work with. So a big well done to Activate who we partnered with in terms of our voice and data requirements. They delivered on time and within budget. Thanks to all at Activate for making what could have been a stressful exercise into a trouble free experience.

I am happy to recommend Activate Telecoms to anyone looking for a telephony solution. Great customer service, focus and attention to detail. In an industry with lots of very mediocre options, it’s fantastic to find a service provider that keeps to its word
