Lotso Travel does not provide a South Africa eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. All available plans from the provider for South Africa are data‑only, so travelers will not receive incoming or outgoing voice or text messages directly through the eSIM.
Travelers can still use popular VoIP messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages. Because some services may be restricted in South Africa, it is advisable to confirm that the apps you rely on are accessible before purchasing a data‑only plan.
