MobiMatter eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MobiMatter does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. The provider’s catalog lists only fixed‑data plans with specific caps. Two examples that give large data allowances are the South Africa 10 GB plan, valid for 30 days and priced at $25.99 USD, and the Global 13 GB plan, valid for 365 days and priced at $41.99 USD.

Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective unless you are a very heavy data consumer; for moderate usage, the plans above offer capable data coverage without the higher cost of an unlimited alternative.

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.
