BNESIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

BNESIM does not offer an unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. All available BNESIM plans for the country have fixed data caps.

Travelers can choose from fixed‑data options such as the 100GB plan valid for 30 days at $194.56 USD, the 50GB plan valid for 30 days at $130.46 USD, or the 20GB plan valid for 30 days at $63.62 USD. These plans provide a large amount of data and may be more cost effective for most users, unless a traveler consumes a very high volume of data.

BNESIM does not provide South Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. The available plans are data‑only, offering connectivity through the network without a local line. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages, but these services rely on the data connection rather than a traditional SMS or voice line.

BNESIM offers 14 single‑country plans that cover South Africa alone and 10 multi‑country plans that include South Africa as part of their coverage, giving a total of 24 plans available for South Africa. The single‑country options range from 1 GB to 100 GB and cost between $4.16 and $364.27. The multi‑country choices provide comparable data ranges and price points but grant access to several other destinations as well; many of them allow tethering. These plans typically deliver a fixed data amount for a set number of days, offering travelers flexibility without the need for daily data caps.
