How airdvance works
A straightforward path from choosing a device to owning it outright.
- 1
Choose a device and a plan
Browse smartphones and tablets. Pick the rental term that fits your monthly budget — you'll always see the monthly payment, admin fee and buyout amount upfront.
- 2
Apply and set up your debit order
Create an account and complete a short application: your details, address, employment, and your bank account for the debit order.
- 3
We collect your first payment
We immediately debit your first installment plus a once-off admin fee. There's no waiting for manual review — approval is automatic the moment the debit succeeds.
- 4
We ship your device
As soon as your first payment clears, we prepare and ship your device to you.
- 5
We debit you monthly
Your dashboard always shows your next debit date, your progress toward the end of your term, and your device status.
- 6
Buy it out for as little as R1
Once you've made every monthly payment, pay a small final buyout fee from your dashboard and the device is officially yours.
What happens if my debit order fails?
Your device will be locked until the payment is resolved. We do not automatically retry a failed debit order — you'll need to make a manual payment from your dashboard to unlock your device again.
