MobiMatter eSIM Data Plans for Africa

MobiMatter does not offer an unlimited data eSIM plan for Africa. Travelers looking to use the provider in African countries will find fixed‑data plans instead. For example, MobiMatter sells a 20 GB plan that is valid for 365 days and costs $67.49 USD, as well as a 10 GB plan that is valid for 30 days and costs $39.99 USD. Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective unless a user requires extremely high data consumption.

MobiMatter does not provide an eSIM with a phone number or SMS capability for Africa. The plans sold for African destinations are data‑only; they give you mobile internet through the local network but do not give you a local number or the ability to receive or send SMS. Travelers who need voice or messaging services can instead use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection.

MobiMatter offers several eSIM plans that cover a range of African countries: the Africa Special plan includes DR Congo, Republic of the Congo, Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Mauritius, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, and Zambia; the Global Special plan covers Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Mauritius, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa; and the Global plan contains Cameroon, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Mauritius, Nigeria, Réunion, Seychelles, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa.
