eSimfly eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

eSimfly does not supply a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. The plans marketed as “Unlimited” are capped at 1 GB per day; once that limit is reached the speed is reduced, though the dataset does not list the exact throttled speed. A genuinely unlimited plan is therefore not available.

Alternatives are fixed‑data plans. For example, a 20 GB plan for 30 days costs $33.99, and a 10 GB plan for 30 days costs $18.51. These can be more economical, especially for users who exceed the 1 GB daily cap or who require consistent high‑speed data throughout their stay.

eSimfly does not provide a South Africa eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. The provider only offers data‑only plans for South Africa, so travelers cannot receive inbound calls or text messages on the SIM. They can, however, use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for voice and messaging.

eSimfly provides 18 single‑country plans for South Africa and 15 multi‑country plans that include South Africa in their coverage, for a total of 33 plans available through the provider. The plans cover a price range from about US $3 to US $147 and data caps from 1 GB up to 20 GB. Among the options, seven plans are daily data‑cap models while the remaining 26 are fixed data‑cap offerings. These plans also include features such as tethering on selected tariffs.
