MobileSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MobileSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa, as none of the available plans list an “unlimited” data cap. The plans that carry the name “Unlimited” actually offer a capped amount of high‑speed data, in this case 3 GB per day, after which the speed is reduced to 1000 kbps. For travelers who need a large amount of data without daily limits, MobileSIM offers fixed data plans. For example, a Global 20 GB for 365 days plan costs $69.00 USD and a Global 10 GB for 180 days plan costs $59.00 USD; both provide a fixed data allowance with no daily restriction. Choosing one of these fixed plans may be more cost‑effective for users who anticipate heavy data usage, whereas the “Unlimited” name plans can be suitable for shorter stays where a daily cap is acceptable.

MobileSIM offers data plans for South Africa in both single‑country and multi‑country packages. The catalogue contains five single‑country plans that cover only South Africa and eight multi‑country plans that include South Africa among several destinations. The plans fall into two broad types: fixed‑data‑cap plans, which provide a set amount of data for the entire validity period, and daily‑data‑cap plans, where the data allowance resets each day. Across the board, prices vary from roughly $7 up to $69 USD, while data limits range from 1 GB to 20 GB.
