eSimfly eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

eSimfly does not provide any truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for South Africa. The plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their name actually deliver 1 GB of high‑speed data per day; once that limit is reached, the speed is throttled to a reduced rate that the plan does not specify. Therefore they are not unlimited in the strict sense of offering unlimited high‑speed data without restriction.

If a higher capacity is needed, eSimfly offers fixed‑data options. For example, a 50 GB plan is available for 30 days, as is a 30 GB plan for the same period. These plans give a larger data allowance before any speed reduction and can be more cost effective for travelers who need more data than the 1 GB‑per‑day “Unlimited” options provide.

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 lists a total of 20 single‑country plans that cover South Africa, while 18 multi‑country plans also include it in their coverage. Among these, 7 plans feature a daily data cap while 31 offer a fixed data amount. Overall, the provider’s plans span a price range from about $3.82 to $168.93, with data caps ranging from 1 GB to 50 GB and validity periods from 1 to 365 days.
