eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for Africa

eSIMCard’s “Unlimited” eSIM data plans for Africa do not provide true unlimited high‑speed data. Each of those plans offers a daily allowance of 1GB; once that limit is reached, the speed is throttled to 500 kbps. The plan names contain “Unlimited, ” but the data cap is the same as in regular plans.

If a traveler needs a larger, unthrottled data pool, eSIMCard also sells fixed‑data eSIMs such as 50 GB for 90 days or 100 GB for 180 days, both available in Africa. These plans give a larger data allowance at a consistent speed and can be more cost effective for users who consume a lot of data.

eSIMCard does not offer any eSIM plans for Africa that include a phone number or SMS capability. All of its Africa eSIMs are data‑only; there are no inbound or outbound voice or text services available. Travelers who need to communicate can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which work over the data connection provided by the eSIM.

eSIMCard’s eSIM plans cover a wide range of African countries, including Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Nigeria, Réunion, Tunisia, South Africa, Benin, Gabon, Mauritius, Malawi, Rwanda, Sudan, Chad, Tanzania, Uganda, Burkina Faso, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mozambique, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Zambia, Republic of the Congo, and Niger.
