MobiMatter eSIM Data Plans for Africa

MobiMatter does not provide unlimited data eSIM plans for Africa. The provider’s available options are fixed‑data plans, the largest of which is 20GB for 365 days at $67.49 USD and includes tethering. Other choices include a 10GB plan for 15 days costing $29.99 USD and a 5GB plan for 15 days at $18.99 USD. Selecting a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective for most travelers unless the user requires very high data usage that would otherwise trigger throttling or additional charges.

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.

The Africa plan includes DR Congo, Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Mauritius, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Rwanda, Seychelles, Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, while the Global Special plan covers Burkina Faso, Benin, DR Congo, Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa and Zambia.
