bndless is a prepaid travel eSIM service offering instant mobile data in 190+ destinations, with local, regional and global plans. Plans are delivered digitally within minutes of purchase and can be installed before departure — validity only starts when the eSIM first connects at the destination. Customers can buy and manage plans on bndless.com or through the bndless app (iOS and Android), top up existing plans anytime, and cancel unused eSIMs for account credit before activation. The service is available in eight languages, with human support via in-app chat and WhatsApp.

bndless does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for Africa. The provider offers fixed‑data plans that give a set amount of high‑speed data for a specified period. For travelers to Africa, the largest options are the 20GB 30‑day plan at $85.90 USD and the 20GB 90‑day plan at $93.10 USD. These fixed plans are the most generous packages from bndless and can be more economical unless a user consumes data far beyond the provided allowance.
bndless does not provide an Africa eSIM plan that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Travelers can only purchase data‑only plans from the provider for use on their devices.
Instead, users can rely on Wi‑Fi or the data connection to run VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage for voice and text communication. It is advisable to verify that these apps work in the specific African destinations you plan to visit, as some locations may block or restrict certain services.
bndless publishes a range of eSIM plans that cover almost the entire African continent, including a dedicated Africa plan, an Africa (21 areas) plan, a Global (120+ areas)/Day plan and a Global139 plan, all of which offer coverage in the following African countries: Algeria, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Egypt, Eswatini (Swaziland), Gabon, Ghana, Guinea‑Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Réunion, Seychelles, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
