Power Watch 2G
Compact
Power Monitoring, Works with SMS,
No Monthly Subscription
In towns and cities across South Africa, aging infrastructure and poor maintenance, cable theft, or cables failures cause frequent outages leaving homes and businesses without electricity for hours, sometimes days.
WhatsApp groups and word-of-mouth are often inaccurate. With PowerWatch 2G, you’ll know instantly if your home is affected. Receive SMS alerts the moment your supply changes, check status remotely, and act quickly — whether it’s starting a generator, protecting freezers, or calling in help. Or ensuring a loved one needing oxygen is OK.
The PowerWatch 2G requires no complicated installation. Simply insert your sim card, connect it to a regular USB phone charger via a USB-C cable, and you're ready to go.
Which Network To Use
The good news regarding 2G networks are MTN have indicated they expect to keep 2G operational till at least the end of 2029. Vodacom hasn't given a date but is expected to be similar to MTN. I have had good success with Telkom Mobile, whilst they don't own a 2G network, they use Vodacom.
Before buying a sim card for 2G, it's wise to verify access to it in your area.
Device Diagnostics
