# Hire South African Cold Callers

Hiring a full-time cold caller in South Africa through Switchstack costs $2,199 a month (about $12.69 an hour), or $2,899 a month if we run the calling for you. South African callers are the best fit for clients calling the UK, Ireland and Germany. English-first callers on European hours, just one or two hours ahead of London.

English is the main language of business in South Africa, and many callers speak it as a first language. For buyers who are quick to hang up on an unfamiliar accent, that matters.

South Africa is one hour ahead of the UK in summer and two in winter, so a UK or Irish business day is a normal day shift. The country has a well-established call centre industry serving UK and other English-speaking clients.

## Strengths
- Many callers speak English as a first language
- UK, Irish and continental European business days are a normal day shift
- Day shifts also cover Morocco and the Gulf
- Afternoon and evening shifts reach the US East Coast

**The trade-off:** South African callers cost more than callers in the Philippines or India. Power cuts have hit South Africa in the past, so we check every caller's backup power and internet before they start.

## FAQs

### Can a South African caller cover US hours?

Partly. A 9am to 5pm day on the US East Coast is an afternoon and evening shift in South Africa, which works. West Coast hours run past midnight, so for those we usually suggest the Philippines or Latin America instead.

### What about power cuts?

South Africa has had long periods of scheduled power cuts. Before a caller starts, we check that they have backup power and a backup internet connection, so your calls don't stop when the grid does.
