EscapeSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

EscapeSIM does not offer an unlimited data eSIM plan for travel to South Africa. Travelers can choose from fixed‑data plans that provide larger allowances. For example, the Africa Special 30GB plan gives 30GB of data for 30 days, and the South Africa 20GB plan provides 20GB for the same period. These fixed‑data options can be more cost‑effective unless a user expects extremely heavy data consumption.

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.

The provider lists ten single‑country data plans for South Africa and six multi‑country options. Prices vary from about $3.62 to $74.98, with data caps ranging from 1 GB to 30 GB. The plans are primarily fixed‑amount data allowances, and many of them permit tethering.
