The SIM Shop
Some people buy three weeks out, from the couch, with a spreadsheet open. Others buy from a hotel lobby twenty minutes after landing, using the Wi-Fi password off a laminated card. Whether you fly next month or landed five minutes ago, we'll get your travel data sorted fast. Tell us where you're going and we'll show you what covers it. Over 200 destinations, single countries or whole regions, plus day passes for shorter trips that get through a lot of data. Not every phone takes an eSIM, so check yours before you buy. If a plan doesn't suit your trip, we'll say so.

The SIM Shop for Africa FAQ
Does The SIM Shop offer unlimited data eSIM for Africa?
The SIM Shop does not provide any unlimited data eSIM for Africa. All of its Africa‑covering plans have a defined data cap. Travelers can choose from fixed data plans such as the 20GB for 90 days, the 10GB for 30 days, or the 5GB for 30 days, which cover a broad range of African countries. These fixed plans give predictable costs and coverage, and are generally more cost‑effective for most users unless the traveller requires very high data consumption that would exceed the available bundled allowance.
Does The SIM Shop offer Africa eSIM with phone number and SMS?
The SIM Shop does not offer eSIM plans for Africa that include a phone number or SMS capability; only data‑only eSIM solutions are available for this continent.
Travelers can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection to communicate. However, some African countries may restrict access to certain apps or voice‑over‑IP services, so users should confirm that the applications they rely on are accessible in their destination before purchasing.
