MobiMatter eSIM Data Plans for Africa

MobiMatter does not provide unlimited data eSIM plans for Africa. The available Africa‑focused offerings have fixed data caps, the largest of which is 20 GB for 365 days and includes countries such as Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, and more than 100 other countries. Another common option is a 10 GB plan valid for 30 days, covering numerous African nations. Choosing a fixed flat‑rate plan can be more cost‑effective unless a traveler expects to use data far beyond the capped amount.

MobiMatter does not provide an eSIM for Africa that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The provider’s Africa plans are data‑only, offering high‑speed internet but no incoming or outgoing voice or text services.

Users who need voice or messaging can rely on popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which operate over the data connection and do not require a local phone number or SMS support.

The Africa Special eSIM plan is available in Algeria, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, and Zambia; the Global Special plan covers Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa; and the Global plan is valid in Cameroon, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Mauritius, Nigeria, Réunion, Seychelles, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa, with both Global Special and Global plans also providing coverage in numerous other regions worldwide.
