PingBars’ plans that contain “Unlimited” in the name are in fact fixed‑data plans that give a full‑speed allowance of 1GB, 2GB, 5GB, or 10GB per day. After the daily allowance is used, the speed is throttled to either 1000 kbps or 384 kbps, depending on the specific plan, so they are not truly unlimited high‑speed data plans for Africa.
If a traveler needs a larger data bundle, PingBars also offers fixed data plans such as a 20 GB plan valid for 30 days or a 10 GB plan also valid for 30 days. These fixed data plans can be a more cost‑effective option for heavy data users who prefer a set amount of high‑speed data over a limited period.
PingBars does not offer an eSIM plan for Africa that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIMs are available from this provider for African destinations.
Travelers who need voice or messaging can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, but some African networks may block or restrict certain apps or services, so it is advisable to confirm that the apps you rely on are accessible before purchasing a plan.
PingBars offers three eSIM plans that cover Africa: Global (120+ areas) Unlimited /Day, Africa, and Global139. Each of these plans includes coverage of the following African countries: Botswana, DR Congo, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea‑Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Morocco, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Seychelles, Senegal, Eswatini (Swaziland), Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Burkina Faso, Réunion, and Sudan.
