ETravelSim eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

ETravelSim does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. The plans marketed with “Unlimited” in their names actually give 4 GB per day of high‑speed data; once that daily quota is reached the speed drops to 128 kbps. For travelers who need steady high‑speed access without a daily limit, ETravelSim offers fixed‑data plans such as a 50 GB plan valid for 30 days, and a 25 GB plan also valid for 30 days. These fixed‑data options can be more economical for most users unless the traveler is expected to consume very large amounts of data.

ETravelSim does not provide South Africa eSIM plans that include a local phone number or SMS capability. All eSIM offerings for South Africa from this provider are data‑only, meaning you will not receive a local number with inbound or outbound voice or SMS services.

Users who need communications can rely on internet‑based messaging and calling apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which operate over the data connection provided by the eSIM.

ETravelSim offers 9 single‑country plans and 5 multi‑country plans that cover South Africa. The available packages vary in price from about $4.50 to $109.99 and in data allocation from 1 GB up to 50 GB, with validity periods ranging from 5 to 365 days. Customers can choose between daily‑data‑cap options, which reset each day, and fixed‑data‑cap plans that provide a set amount of data for the entire validity period.
