BetterRoaming eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

BetterRoaming does not provide an unlimited‑data eSIM plan for South Africa. The available local South Africa plans are fixed‑data packages ranging from 3 GB to 20 GB over a 30‑day validity period. Travelers who need more data than the smaller packages can choose the 10 GB or 20 GB options, which offer higher data allowances and are often more economical than paying for unlimited usage, unless the user is an extremely heavy data consumer.

BetterRoaming does not provide a South Africa eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The plans available from this provider for South Africa are strictly data‑only, without voice or text services.

Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage to make calls and send messages over the data connection, as these apps do not require a local phone number or SMS functionality.

BetterRoaming currently offers eight data plans for South Africa. This includes five single-coverage plans specifically for South Africa and three multi-country plans that include South Africa alongside other countries. These plans range in price from approximately $4.49 to $44.99 and offer data allowances between 1GB and 20GB, with validity periods from 7 to 30 days.
