eSIM.sm eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

eSIM.sm does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. The provider’s catalog for the region includes fixed‑data options such as the 10GB 30‑day plan priced at $28.40 USD and the 5GB 15‑day plan at $15.30 USD. These plans allow tethering and cover the entire country. Choosing a fixed data plan can be a more cost‑effective solution for most travelers unless they anticipate consuming data at a rate that exceeds the largest available allowance.

No. eSIM.sm does not offer South Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability; the provider sells only data‑only eSIMs for that destination.

Travelers can still make calls and send messages over the data connection by using popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage. These services work entirely over the internet, so a local phone number is not required.

eSIM.sm offers five single‑country plans for South Africa, with no multi‑country options available. The plans cover a price range of about $4.20 to $28.40 USD and provide data caps between 1 GB and 10 GB, valid for 7 to 30 days. Tethering is allowed on some of these plans.
