Maya Mobile eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Maya Mobile does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. The provider’s “Unlimited” plans actually offer a daily high‑speed data allowance of 3GB per day or 5GB per day, depending on the plan, and after the daily limit is reached the speed is reduced. For travelers who need more data, Maya Mobile offers fixed‑data plans such as the South Africa 50GB package, which provides 50GB of high‑speed data for a set number of days (5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 days). These fixed‑data options can be more cost‑effective for users who consume large amounts of data without requiring continuous unlimited bandwidth.

Maya Mobile does not provide eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability for South Africa; only data‑only plans are offered from this provider in that country.

Travelers can still use popular voice‑over‑IP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages without a local phone number.

Maya Mobile offers a total of 53 single‑country data plans and 54 multi‑country plans that include South Africa. For South Africa, the provider distinguishes between daily data‑cap plans—28 options that reset each day—and fixed data‑cap plans—79 options that provide a set amount of data for the validity period. The plans range in price from $3.99 to $499.99 and provide data amounts from 1 GB up to 50 GB, giving travelers a broad range of choices to match budget and usage needs.
