iRoamly eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

iRoamly does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. All available plans offer a fixed high‑speed allowance of 500GB. For example, a 1‑day plan costs $6.50 and a 10‑day plan costs $58, each providing 500GB of data before the speed is reduced. Choosing one of these fixed‑data plans can be more cost‑effective if you are a heavy data user, while still giving you ample bandwidth for typical travel activities.

iRoamly does not provide a South Africa eSIM plan that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. The provider’s South Africa offerings are limited to data‑only eSIMs.

Travelers who need to make calls or send messages can rely on VoIP applications—such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage—that operate over the data connection. These apps allow communication without requiring a traditional phone number or SMS service.

iRoamly offers eight single‑country data plans in South Africa and six multi‑country plans that include South Africa. The single‑country options range from 500 MB to 50 GB of data, priced between $0 and $40, while the multi‑country packages vary from 1 GB to 20 GB with prices from $10 to $80. The single‑country plans provide a fixed data amount for a set validity period, whereas the multi‑country plans include daily data caps or a data rollover feature across the covered regions.
