EscapeSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

EscapeSIM does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. Instead, the provider offers a range of fixed‑data options. For example, an Africa Special 30GB plan gives 30GB of high‑speed data for 30 days at about $82.83 USD, while a South Africa 20GB plan offers 20GB for 30 days at roughly $47.94 USD. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be a more cost‑effective choice for most travelers, unless one expects to use an extremely large amount of data.

EscapeSIM does not provide South Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capabilities. The only eSIM options available to travelers in South Africa are data‑only plans. Travelers can still make calls and send messages using popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, which operate over the data connection provided by the eSIM.

EscapeSIM offers 10 single‑country data plans for South Africa and 6 multi‑country plans that include South Africa. The plans range in price from roughly $3.58 to $82.83, with data limits between 1 GB and 30 GB and validity periods from 5 to 30 days. Most plans provide a fixed data allotment, and some of the plans that include tethering as an option are clearly marked.
