Firsty eSIM Data Plans for Africa

Firsty offers an unlimited data eSIM for Africa called the Firsty Free plan. It costs $0.00 USD, lasts 1 day, and is advertised as unlimited. The plan includes advertisements, may throttle speed after heavy usage, and has a maximum available speed of 256 kbps. Coverage covers Burkina Faso, Algeria, Egypt, Lesotho, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, Réunion, Seychelles, South Sudan, Eswatini (Swaziland), Tunisia, Mayotte, South Africa, and 96 other African countries.

Because the unlimited plan is subject to a Fair Usage Policy, speeds can be reduced after substantial usage. If a user wishes to avoid potential speed restrictions, Firsty should be contacted to confirm whether the Fair Usage Policy applies and what normal speed will be available after data has been heavily used.

Firsty does not offer an eSIM plan with a local phone number or SMS capability for destinations in Africa. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available from Firsty in Africa, and travelers can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for voice and messaging.

The Firsty Free plan covers 15 African countries: Burkina Faso, Algeria, Egypt, Lesotho, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, Réunion, Seychelles, South Sudan, Eswatini (Swaziland), Tunisia, Mayotte, and South Africa, and it also extends coverage to a wide range of non‑African regions.
