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 plans for Africa. All of its Africa‑focused options have a hard cap on data: the largest offer gives 20 GB for 90 days, while other choices provide 10 GB or 5 GB for 30 days. Travelers can select these fixed‑data plans if they need a large, predictable allowance; they may also be more cost‑effective than a pay‑as‑you‑go approach for moderate or heavy usage.
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.
