SUMMER · SHOP AGENTS & FREELANCE FIELD AGENTS

Free SIMs. Weekly commission.
Make summer count.

Start with R18 per approved qualifying activation. Earn more as your customers keep recharging.

01 · QUALIFYING ACTIVATIONR18

Connect a customer.

Earn on an approved qualifying summer activation. Receiving or handing out a SIM alone does not earn commission.

02 · MONTH TWO+ R5

Keep the connection going.

That SIM recharges R50 or more in month 2, and at least 25% of its original supplied batch is activated.

03 · MONTH THREE+ R10

Build a returning customer.

The same SIM must first earn R5, then recharge R50 or more in month 3. Its original batch must reach at least 50% activation.

R18 + R5 + R10 = up to R33 per qualifying SIM over those stages, before separate bundle rewards. Retention rewards are earned once at each qualifying stage.

A SEPARATE WAY TO EARN

R5–R20 extra on qualifying bundles.

A separate R5–R20 summer bundle reward can be earned in addition to activation commission, when the bundle purchase independently qualifies and is validated against the SIM ICCID. Confirm the eligible bundle and reward before selling; do not add the bundle tiers together.

WEEKLY PAYMENTS

Qualify. Validate. Get paid.

Approved qualifying activation commissions and bundle rewards are paid in weekly runs after verification. Bundle claims require ICCID validation.

Keep the SIM and transaction records for the approved claim process. This website takes enquiries; it does not submit claims or pay commission.

What does this mean for a batch of 20 SIMs?

5 of 20 activated = 25%: the month-2 batch target is met. Each SIM still needs its own R50-or-more recharge in month 2 to earn R5.

10 of 20 activated = 50%: the month-3 batch target is met. Only a SIM that first earned R5 and then recharges R50 or more in month 3 can earn R10.

Always use the original 20 supplied SIMs as the batch total. Exactly 25%, 50% and R50 meet their respective thresholds. These examples explain the rules; they are not an earnings guarantee.

Confirm campaign dates, registration eligibility, activation rules, month boundaries, weekly cut-off and payment day in your written offer before starting. Each SIM must qualify individually; meeting a batch target does not reward every SIM. Dealer and SIM-rep arrangements are separate. Stock availability and programme approval apply. Fibre and business products have their own earning terms. Income is not guaranteed. Do not send customer identity details or SIM serials in this public enquiry form.

Good value.

Data for everyday use

Help customers compare data allowance, network and expiry.

WhatsApp & voice

Start with how the customer likes to chat and call.

A home or business connection

Ask whether the same customer also needs fibre at home or internet for their shop.

Bundle eligibility, validity and promotions vary. Use the current approved offer details when selling.

BUILD ON WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

Your relationships
are the starting point.

The person buying data today may need fibre at home. The shop on your route may need internet and calling for its business.

Start by understanding the need. Show a relevant, current offer. Help the customer take the next step through the approved process. Each product opens a different sales conversation.

During onboarding, confirm your product range, supply or referral process, support, earning conditions and payment timing. SIM, fibre and business products have different qualifying requirements.

Questions future TRADRs ask.

What can I sell with TRADR?

Prepaid SIMs and data are a core focus. You can also discuss prepaid fibre, monthly home fibre and Telkom Business products. Product access and selling or referral arrangements are confirmed for your role and area.

Do I need a shop?

No. Shop agents work from a trading location; field agents and SIM reps work through customer and trader relationships. Dealers bring an existing distribution network. Choose the role that fits you.

What can I earn?

For shop agents and freelance field agents: free SIMs and R18 per approved qualifying summer activation. Approved qualifying activation commissions and bundle rewards are paid in weekly runs after verification. Bundle claims require ICCID validation. See the summer stages above for the separate R5 and R10 retention conditions and bundle rewards. Prepaid Fibre: earn up to R150 per qualifying customer who takes a deal and completes installation. Home Fibre: earn up to the value of one month’s subscription per qualifying sale. Your commission, qualifying package and payment timing are confirmed in your offer terms before you start. Data, recharge, business products and other roles have their own terms.

When do I get my SIM commission?

Approved qualifying activation commissions and bundle rewards are paid in weekly runs after verification. Bundle claims require ICCID validation. Simply handing out a SIM does not qualify it for payment. Confirm campaign dates, registration eligibility, activation rules, month boundaries, weekly cut-off and payment day in your written offer before starting. Each SIM must qualify individually; meeting a batch target does not reward every SIM. Dealer and SIM-rep arrangements are separate. Fibre and other product earnings follow their own payment terms.

Is monthly fibre the same as prepaid fibre?

They are different product options. Telkom Prepaid Fibre uses recharge vouchers. Home Fibre monthly plans have their own billing and contract terms. Coverage, eligibility and the selected package must be checked.

How do I market the latest prepaid deals?

Ask for the current approved deal information during onboarding. Check the price, bundle size, network, expiry and customer eligibility before sharing an offer. Promotions can change.

What do I need to apply?

Your role, products of interest, town, province and contact details. Share a short introduction to your shop or sales experience. Leave identity documents and customer information out of this initial enquiry.
