Saily eSIM Data Plans for Africa

Saily does not provide a true unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Africa. The plan labeled “Global UNLIMITED 30 days” lists a 30GB data cap and specifies a reduced speed of 1024kbps once that limit is reached, so it is not unlimited in the sense of continuous high‑speed data.

Instead, Saily offers a range of fixed‑data plans for African destinations, such as a 20GB plan valid for 365 days priced at $66.99 USD, a 10GB 180‑day plan at $56.99 USD, a 5GB 60‑day plan at $33.99 USD, and a 2GB 15‑day plan at $16.49 USD. These options give travelers predictable data allowances and can be more cost‑effective for heavy data users compared to over‑provisioned “unlimited” names.

Saily does not provide a phone number or SMS capability on its Africa eSIM plans. The available eSIMs are data‑only, so travelers cannot receive calls or text messages directly on the device.

Travelers can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection for voice calls and messaging, which work without a local phone number.

Saily offers the following eSIM plans with coverage in African countries: the Global plan covers Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Réunion, Rwanda, Tunisia and South Africa; the Africa plan covers Burkina Faso, Benin, Botswana, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea‑Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Seychelles, Sudan, Senegal, Eswatini (Swaziland), Chad, Togo, Uganda, South Africa and Zambia; and the Global UNLIMITED plan covers Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Réunion, Rwanda, Tunisia, Tanzania and South Africa. All of these countries are within the approved list.
