Matrix is a South African vehicle tracking and telematics provider.
Save the emergency number in your phone now, not when you need it. A hijacking is not the moment to search a website, and the emergency line is separate from customer care.
Report to the tracker and the police at the same time. The tracker starts recovery; only a police case number lets an insurer process the claim afterwards.
This page covers how to contact Matrix in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Matrix contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not Matrix and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.

These routes were verified against the official Matrix contact page on 23 August 2026. Contact numbers do change, so confirm on the official page before relying on one for anything urgent.

| Customer care email | [email protected] |
Save the emergency number in your phone now, not when you need it. A theft or hijacking is reported to the tracking company and to the police, and both are needed: the tracker starts recovery, and only a police case number lets an insurer process the claim.
Self-service options before you call
- Check the official site at matrix.co.za, which carries the current contact details and any online enquiry form.
- Email to [email protected], which gives you a written record of what you asked and when.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Who to contact in South African healthcare
- For a medical emergency, use 10177 for ambulance and fire, or 112 from a mobile phone. A hospital switchboard is not an emergency dispatch line and is not staffed as one. Private emergency services run their own numbers, and they will ask which medical scheme you belong to.
- Public hospitals and clinics are run by the provincial health department, not by the national Department of Health. The national department sets policy; the province runs the facility. A complaint about care goes to the facility first, then the province.
- Private hospitals belong to groups, but each hospital runs its own switchboard, admissions and accounts. For a ward, an admission or a bill, that hospital is the contact, not the group’s head office.
- Pre-authorisation is your medical scheme’s, not the hospital’s. The hospital books the bed; the scheme confirms what it will pay. Getting authorisation before a planned admission is what prevents a claim being short-paid afterwards.
- Practitioner conduct is the HPCSA’s, pharmacy registration and conduct is the SAPC’s, and the standard of care at any facility, public or private, is the Health Ombud’s within the Office of Health Standards Compliance, on 080 911 6472. Each expects the provider’s own complaints process to have been used first, and will ask for its reference number.
Have the patient’s file or hospital number, the medical scheme membership number, and the treating doctor’s practice number ready. Those three identify almost everything in South African healthcare, and an enquiry without them usually cannot be traced.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the provider’s own complaints process. Unresolved complaints about banking, credit or insurance go to the National Financial Ombud on 0860 800 900, free of charge, and credit agreement conduct goes to the National Credit Regulator on 0860 627 627.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most financial complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Matrix contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Matrix.
- Reach Matrix through the official site at matrix.co.za rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Matrix will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Matrix contact number?
The routes are listed in the table above, with what each one is for. The main route is 0800 111 322. Confirm it on matrix.co.za before relying on it, since numbers are changed from time to time.
How do I know a Matrix number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at matrix.co.za. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Matrix, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
