GIGAGO eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

GIGAGO does not provide an unlimited‑data eSIM for South Africa. All of GIGAGO’s plans for the country come with a capped data allowance of 50 GB and validity periods ranging from 3 days to 15 days. For example, a 50 GB plan is available for 3 days at $92.50 USD, 5 days at $98.00 USD, 7 days at $103.50 USD, 10 days at $108.90 USD, and 15 days at $114.50 USD, each covering South Africa and five additional countries.

Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more economical unless a traveler is a very heavy data consumer. The 50 GB options provide substantial bandwidth for typical uses such as browsing, streaming, and navigation during a visit to South Africa.

GIGAGO does not offer South Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. The provider only supplies data‑only eSIMs for South Africa, which can be used for internet access and for VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage to place calls and send messages over the data connection.

GIGAGO currently offers 5 single coverage data plans specifically for South Africa, alongside 76 multi-country plans that include South Africa as part of their coverage. These plans range in price from approximately $2.50 to $239.50 and offer data allowances between 500MB and 50GB. GIGAGO provides both fixed data plans, offering a set amount of data for the plan’s duration, and daily data cap plans which provide a certain amount of data each day. Some plans may experience reduced speeds after a certain data usage threshold.
