eSimfly eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

eSimfly does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. All of the plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in the title actually provide a fixed high‑speed data allowance of 1 GB per day, after which the speed is reduced to a lower tier.

The network offers several high‑data fixed‑plan alternatives that might better suit users who need a lot of bandwidth, such as the 20 GB 30 day plan priced at $52.07 USD and the 10 GB 30 day plan for $29.45 USD. These plans give a larger amount of high‑speed data without the throttling that follows the 1 GB/day cap of the “Unlimited” offerings. Selecting a fixed data plan can provide better value and predictability for travelers with heavy data usage.

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 19 single‑country data plans for South Africa and 15 multi‑country plans that include South Africa in their coverage mix. The single‑country options range in price from about $3.90 to $168.93 and deliver 1 GB up to 20 GB of data, while their multi‑country packages sit in a similar price bracket and offer comparable data caps, adjusted for the added regional usage. The catalog contains both fixed‑data‑cap plans, giving a predetermined amount of data for the plan’s validity, and daily‑data‑cap plans, which allocate a set amount of data each day throughout the plan’s duration. This breadth allows travelers to choose a package that best matches the length of their stay and data consumption style.
