abesteSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

abesteSIM does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. Travelers looking to stay connected can choose from fixed data allowances instead. For example, the South Africa – 30 Days/Total 30 GB plan costs $44.19 USD and offers 30 GB at 4G, 5G, LTE speeds, while the South Africa – 30 Days/Total 20 GB plan is $31.66 USD with 20 GB. Selecting a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective than needing an unlimited option, unless the user is an extremely heavy data consumer.

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 provides 52 single‑country plans and 29 multi‑country plans that include South Africa. The single‑country catalogue offers options ranging from 500 MB to 30 GB, with prices between $1.47 and $256.93, while the multi‑country bundle covers a similar volume of data under the same price umbrella. Plans are split into daily data cap selections (39 options) and fixed data cap selections (42 options); daily capped plans reset each day, giving travellers a predictable daily usage window, whereas fixed capped plans offer a cumulative data allowance that lasts for the full validity period.
