Simbye eSIM Data Plans for Africa

Simbye does not provide unlimited data eSIM plans for Africa. It offers fixed‑cap plans instead. For example, a Global139 plan with 20GB of data valid for 90 days costs $80 USD and covers more than 100 countries in Africa, while a Global139 plan with 10GB valid for 30 days is priced at $45 USD. Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective unless a traveler is an extremely heavy data user.

Simbye does not provide an Africa eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capabilities. The provider only offers data‑only plans for the region. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage for voice and messaging over the data connection.

Simbye offers two eSIM plans that provide coverage across Africa: the “Africa” plan and the “Global139” plan. The “Africa” plan covers Burkina Faso, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea‑Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Morocco, Madagascar, Mali, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Seychelles, Sudan, Senegal, Eswatini (Swaziland), Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, and Zambia. The “Global139” plan covers the same set of countries plus Cameroon and Algeria, resulting in a total of 31 African countries served by Simbye’s eSIM offerings.
