EtravelSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

EtravelSIM does not offer a true unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for South Africa. The plans listed as “Unlimited” actually give 4GB of high‑speed data per day and throttle the speed to 128kbps once that limit is reached. If a user needs continuous unlimited‑like usage, this throttling would reduce the experience.

For travelers who require a larger, fixed data allowance, EtravelSIM provides several high‑data plans. For example, a 50GB eSIM for 30 days costs $60.99, and a 25GB eSIM for 30 days is priced at $40.99. These plans give a substantial amount of high‑speed data without the daily cap that applies to the “Unlimited” plans.

EtravelSIM does not provide South Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are offered for South Africa. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for voice and messaging services.

EtravelSIM offers nine single‑country data plans and five multi‑country data plans for South Africa. Across the catalog, plans range from 1 GB to 50 GB of data, are priced between about $4.50 and $109.99, and remain valid for anywhere from 5 to 365 days. Some plans provide a fixed data amount for the entire validity period while others reset the allowance each day, giving travelers the flexibility to choose between a single large data supply or a daily top‑up model.
