Textr eSIM eSIM Data Plans for Africa

Textr eSIM does not provide an unlimited data plan for Africa. Travelers who need large data allowances can choose from fixed‑data plans instead. For example, the Global 10GB plan offers 10GB of high‑speed data for 30 days at $169.90 USD, and the Global 5GB plan provides 5GB for 30 days at $84.95 USD. Selecting a fixed plan can be more cost‑effective for most users, unless one is an extremely heavy data consumer who would otherwise require an unlimited plan.

Textr eSIM does not provide eSIMs for Africa that include a local phone number or SMS capability. The plans available are data‑only, so customers can use the internet for browsing, email, and VoIP services like WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage, but they cannot receive or send traditional SMS messages or make calls that use a local phone number.

Textr eSIM offers coverage in a wide range of African countries with its Global 0 plan, including Botswana, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, DR Congo, Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Senegal, Seychelles, South Africa, Sudan, Eswatini (Swaziland), Tanzania, and Tunisia. It's important to note that the Global 0 plan also extends coverage to locations outside of Africa, encompassing countries in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
