What Safe and Sound is, and how to download, register and log in to the app.

Updated 30 September 2026 · Tracker Prices South Africa

Tracker Prices SA is an independent comparison site. We are not Netstar and are not affiliated with it, so we cannot access your account, log you in or cancel a contract for you. Facts on this page were checked against official Netstar sources in September 2026; the provider’s own website is always the final word.

Quick answer: Safe and Sound is Netstar’s range of stolen vehicle recovery products in three tiers – Basic, Plus and Early Warning – with Netstar’s JammingResist™ technology, and the name of its app. Download Netstar Safe and Sound from the App Store or Google Play, or log in at safeandsound.netstar.co.za.

Netstar describes Safe and Sound as its range of stolen vehicle recovery products, available as Basic, Plus and Early Warning. Current prices are R139 (Basic), R169 (Plus) and R199 (Early Warning) a month. See all Netstar packages.
