The emergency number is 0800 11 22 22. Netstar publishes no Rustenburg office, but it does publish something more useful for routine business than a branch counter: a WhatsApp service bot that issues documents without a phone call.

The WhatsApp bot is the fastest route for paperwork
Save 0860 12 24 36, open WhatsApp and send Hi. The menu Netstar publishes covers exactly the things people otherwise queue on the phone for:
- Account statement and invoice
- Fitment certificate and test certificate
- Finding your vehicle’s location
- Upgrade options, account details and contract cancellation
The fitment certificate is the one worth knowing about. If your insurer required a tracking unit as a condition of cover, that certificate is the proof, and getting it from a bot at 21:00 beats waiting for a call centre.

Netstar also publishes several staff members’ individual work addresses. Those are people rather than desks, so they are not repeated here — the role mailboxes above are monitored as queues.
Fitment in Rustenburg
Netstar fits through a network of fitment centres rather than from a branch, and its site carries a Fitment Centres locator and a Track my Fitment tool. Use the locator for the current Rustenburg centre rather than an old listing, and use Track my Fitment after booking rather than phoning to ask where the technician is.
Mining country changes the risk
Rustenburg is a platinum belt town, and a lot of what gets tracked here is not a family sedan — bakkies, LDVs, contractor vehicles and plant moving between shafts and yards. If that is what you are covering, ask at quote stage about fleet rather than personal tracking, and use the fleet mailboxes above. Ask specifically what happens when an asset is stationary on a mine property for days at a time, because that is not the pattern a passenger-car product is tuned for.
Netstar is an Altron company
That matters for one thing: the ethics and fraud reporting line runs through Altron’s independent whistleblowing provider on the tip-offs.com domain rather than through Netstar itself. If you need to report something about a fitment centre or an employee, that is the route, and it is deliberately outside the company.
Cancelling
Cancellation is on the WhatsApp bot menu. Do it there or in writing and keep the reference — a verbal cancellation is the usual cause of a debit order that carries on. If one does, dispute it with your bank inside its reversal window first, then take the reference back to Netstar.
