eSIMX eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

eSIMX does not provide an unlimited‑data eSIM for South Africa. The only plans available are fixed‑data options. For example, eSIMX offers a 10GB 7‑day plan priced at $18.80 USD and a 10GB 30‑day plan priced at $21.00 USD. Two smaller plans are 5GB for 7 days at $9.80 USD and 5GB for 30 days at $12.00 USD; an additional Africa‑wide option is 5GB for 30 days at $32.80 USD, covering South Africa and eleven other countries.

Choosing a fixed data plan is usually more cost‑effective unless a traveler expects to use a very large amount of data that would exceed the provided allowance.

eSIMX does not provide eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability for South Africa. Only data‑only eSIMs are available from the provider for this destination. Travelers can still use voice and messaging services such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage through the data connection, as these VoIP applications work over the data link without requiring a local phone number or SMS functionality.

eSIMX offers a total of nine data plans for travelers heading to South Africa, broken down into six single‑country options and three multi‑country options. The plans cover a price range from approximately $6.00 to $32.80 and provide data caps between 1 GB and 10 GB, with validity periods ranging from one week to one month. Single‑country plans focus solely on South Africa, while the multi‑country plans bundle South Africa with other regional destinations, giving users flexibility depending on their travel itinerary.
