MobiMatter eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MobiMatter does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. The available plans are fixed‑data options, such as South Africa 10 GB valid for 30 days, Global 13 GB valid for 365 days, and Global 26 GB valid for 365 days. These plans include tethering and cover the country. For travelers who need moderate data usage, a fixed‑data plan can be more cost effective than a hypothetical unlimited plan, especially if the user is not a heavy data consumer.

MobiMatter does not provide an eSIM for South Africa that includes a phone number or the ability to send or receive SMS. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available. Travelers can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage for calls and messaging over the data connection.

MobiMatter has 16 distinct data plans for South Africa—four that cover only South Africa and 12 that can be used across multiple African countries. Prices range from $3.99 to $74.99, data caps go from 1 GB to 26 GB, and validity periods span from 7 days to 365 days. Every plan offers a fixed data allowance, and many of the offerings allow tethering.
