Airalo eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Airalo does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for South Africa. The only plan with “Unlimited” in its name, CellSA‑Unlimited, offers a 3GB/day limit over 10 days; after the 3GB is reached the speed drops to 1000kbps. Travelers who need more sustained data can choose from fixed‑data plans such as CellSA‑20 GB for 30 days at $40.00 USD or Discover‑20 GB for 365 days at $69.00 USD, which give higher amounts of high‑speed data without a daily cap. These options are often more cost‑effective unless a user requires continuous unlimited use.

Airalo provides a total of 21 distinct data‑only eSIM options for visitors to South Africa, split between single-country coverage and broader multi-country packages. Specifically, there are 7 data plans that cover South Africa alone, and 14 plans that allow simultaneous use in South Africa alongside additional destinations included in the same eSIM. Airalo’s catalogue contains both fixed data‑cap offerings and a daily data cap variant; one plan delivers a data cap that renews each day, while the remaining 20 plans offer a single, lump-sum data allocation. Across the range, prices vary from roughly $4.50 for a 1‑GB, 7‑day plan up to $89 for a 20‑GB, 365‑day subscription, giving users flexibility in both budget and data needs.
