Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Africa

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for Africa. The plans titled “Global Unlimited” actually grant a capped allowance of 1GB per day and, after that limit is reached, the connection speed is throttled to 512 kbps. Therefore, the name misleadingly suggests unlimited data, but the plan contains a fixed data cap.

Instead, Giga.Tel offers fixed‑data plans that cover many African countries. For example, the Africa 10GB plan provides 10GB of high‑speed data for 30 days at about $37.49 USD, while the Global 20GB plan offers 20GB of data for 30 days for roughly $143.99 USD. These fixed plans can be more cost‑effective for travelers who need a larger data allowance and may avoid the speed reduction that occurs on the “Unlimited” packages.

Giga.Tel does not provide Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. The provider offers only data‑only eSIMs for African destinations. Travelers can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for calls and messaging.

The Giga.Tel eSIM plans cover the following African countries: Algeria, Benin, Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, DR Congo, Egypt, Gambia, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea‑Bissau, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mali, Mayotte, Réunion, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Eswatini (Swaziland), South Africa, Sudan, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
