Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Africa

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Africa. The plans marketed under the “Unlimited” name give 1 GB of high‑speed data per day and, after the daily quota is reached, the connection is throttled to 512 kbps. Because of the daily data cap, the plans are not unlimited in the sense of offering unrestricted high‑speed data.

Fixed data plans are available as alternatives. For example, the Africa 10 GB plan provides 10 GB of high‑speed data for 30 days, and the Africa 20 GB plan offers the same amount of data for 30 days, both at a lower price point than the daily‑cap “Unlimited” options. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective for travelers who do not need large daily data allowances and wish to avoid speed reductions.

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 plans offer coverage in the following African countries and territories: Benin, Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Mauritius, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Réunion, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Eswatini (Swaziland), Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Mayotte.
