MobiMatter eSIM Data Plans for Africa

MobiMatter does not provide unlimited data eSIM plans for Africa. All of the plans listed for the region have fixed data caps of 20 GB, 10 GB, or 5 GB, with validity periods ranging from 30 days to 365 days.

For travelers who need data in Africa, MobiMatter offers several fixed‑data packages. For example, the Global Special 20 GB plan delivers 20 GB of data for 365 days at a price of $67.49 USD, while the Africa Special 10 GB plan provides 10 GB for 30 days at $39.99 USD. Choosing a capped plan can be more cost‑effective for most users, unless one expects to consume data at a very heavy rate.

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’s eSIM offerings cover the following African nations across its Africa Special, Global Special and Global plans: Algeria, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia and Seychelles.
