BNESIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

BNESIM does not offer an unlimited‑data eSIM for South Africa. All of the plans made available by BNESIM give a fixed data cap, with the largest options being 100GB or 50GB. For example, the Surf 100GB plan provides 100GB for 30 days at a price of $191.14 USD, and the Surf 50GB plan offers 50GB for a period marked as unlimited at $192.73 USD. These fixed‑data packages deliver LTE service across South Africa and include tethering. Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective for most travelers unless an extremely heavy data consumer prefers a truly unlimited option.

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 presents 14 single‑country data plans that are focused exclusively on South Africa, and an additional 10 multi‑country plans that include South Africa among their coverage areas. All plans fall within a price range of approximately $4.09 to $357.86 and offer data caps from 1 GB up to 100 GB. The single‑country options are typically fixed‑data packages, while the multi‑country options may include daily or weekly data caps depending on the specific plan.
