eSIM Cards eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

eSIM Cards does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. The plans listed under the “Unlimited” name give a fixed high‑speed data allowance of 1,000GB per month and may throttle speed once that limit is reached.
For travelers who need a truly capped plan, eSIM Cards offers fixed‑data options. For example, a 500GB plan valid for 30 days costs $29.94 USD, and a 500GB per month plan for 90 days costs $87.82 USD. These plans give a set amount of high‑speed data without the throttling associated with the Unlimited plans and can be more cost‑effective for heavy data users.

eSIM Cards only provides data‑only eSIM plans for South Africa, and no plan from this provider includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Travelers who need voice or messaging can use data to run VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which function over the internet connection.

eSIM Cards offers 16 multi‑country data plans that include coverage in South Africa, while there are no single‑country plans specifically for that market. The available plans range in price from about $27.94 to $654.66 and provide data limits between 25 GB and 1,000 GB, with validity periods spanning 2 to 365 days. These multi‑country options typically allow tethering and may have speed throttling during peak usage.
