LinkeSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

LinkeSIM does not offer an unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. The provider’s plans for the country all have a fixed data allowance, ranging from 10 GB to 15 GB.

If a traveler needs a large data allocation, LinkeSIM provides fixed data plans as alternatives. For example, a 15 GB plan for 30 days is available for $44.90 USD, and a 10 GB plan for 14 days can be purchased for $31.90 USD. These examples illustrate the type of high‑data plans that are on offer; other fixed‑data options are also available. Choosing a fixed data plan may be more cost‑effective for most users unless the traveler is an extremely heavy data consumer.

LinkeSIM does not provide eSIM plans that include a local South African phone number or the ability to send or receive SMS. Their South Africa packages are data‑only, allowing you to connect to mobile internet but not to the traditional telephony network.

Because the eSIM lacks a phone number, users can still make phone calls and send text messages through internet‑based services. WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage and similar VoIP applications work over the data connection and can be used for voice and messaging without a dedicated phone number.

LinkeSIM offers five single‑country plans and ten multi‑country plans that cover South Africa. The available packages range from about $4.50 to $59, with data caps between 1 GB and 15 GB and validity periods from 3 to 30 days. These options provide both fixed‑data plans and daily‑cap plans, giving travelers flexibility based on how much data they require during their stay.
