BNESIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

BNESIM does not provide an unlimited‑data eSIM for South Africa. All of its plans come with a fixed data allowance, such as the 100GB in 30 days for $193.64 USD, the 50GB in 30 days for $129.85 USD, or the 20GB in 30 days for $63.32 USD. These fixed‑data options can be more cost‑effective unless you anticipate using far more data than the plan’s cap.

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 a total of 24 data plans for South Africa, comprising 14 single‑country plans that activate only in South Africa and 10 multi‑country plans that include South Africa among their coverage zones. The available plans vary in price from $4.14 to $362.55 and in data cap from 1 GB up to 100 GB, with validity periods ranging from non‑expiry to 30 days. All plans provide a fixed data allocation that does not reset on a daily basis, and tethering is allowed on most of them.
