MobiMatter eSIM Data Plans for Africa

MobiMatter does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for Africa. Travelers who need a larger data allowance can choose one of MobiMatter’s fixed‑data plans. For example, the Global Special 20 GB plan offers 20 GB for 365 days and costs $67.49 USD, while the Africa Special 10 GB plan gives 10 GB for 30 days at $38.99 USD. Selecting a fixed‑data plan is often more cost‑effective unless a user is an extremely heavy data consumer.

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 plan includes DR Congo, Republic of the Congo, Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, 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. The Global plan covers Cameroon, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Mauritius, Nigeria, Réunion, Seychelles, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda and South Africa.
