abesteSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

abesteSIM does not provide any unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. All available South African plans have fixed data allowances such as 30 GB for 30 days priced at $104.72 USD and 20 GB for 20 days priced at $70.69 USD.
Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective for most travelers, unless the user expects to consume data at levels that would far exceed these limits.

abesteSIM does not provide an eSIM plan with a local phone number or SMS capability for South Africa. All plans sold by the provider for this destination are data‑only.

Travelers who need to stay in touch can use VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which operate over the data connection and allow voice calls and text messages without a traditional phone number.

abesteSIM lists 52 single‑country data plans that cover South Africa and 29 multi‑country plans that include South Africa, giving travelers many options. The plans span a price range of $2.79 to $256.70 and a data cap range from 500 MB up to 30 GB, with validity periods from 1 to 30 days. Some plans are fixed‑data (providing a set amount for the entire validity period) while others use a daily data cap (resetting each day with a lower allotment).
