MobiMatter eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MobiMatter does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. All of its South African plans have a fixed data allowance, ranging from 10GB to 26GB for a variety of validity periods.

If you need a generous data volume, MobiMatter offers examples such as the South Africa 20GB plan, valid for 30 days and priced at $38.99 USD, and the Global 26 GB plan, valid for 365 days and priced at $74.99 USD. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective for most travelers, unless you are an extremely 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 provides five single‑country plans and twelve multi‑country plans that cover South Africa. The plans range in price from $3.49 to $74.99 and offer data caps between 1 GB and 26 GB, with validity periods that can last from 7 days up to a full year. Some plans feature a fixed data allotment that can be used at any time within the validity period, while others apply a daily data cap that resets each day.
