MobiMatter eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MobiMatter does not offer any unlimited data eSIM plans for South Africa. All of the plans available for the country have a fixed data cap, ranging from 10GB to 26GB, with validity periods from 30 days to 365 days.

Instead of unlimited options, MobiMatter provides several fixed data plans that can suit most travelers’ needs. For example, the South Africa 10 GB plan gives 10 GB of high‑speed data for 30 days at $25.99 USD, while the Global 26 GB plan offers 26 GB of data for a full year at $74.99 USD. Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective unless a user is an extremely heavy data consumer.

MobiMatter does not provide South Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. The provider only offers data‑only eSIMs for South Africa. Travelers can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection for voice and messaging without a local phone number or SMS service.

MobiMatter offers a total of 20 plans that cover South Africa: four single‑country plans that are exclusively for South Africa and sixteen multi‑country plans that include South Africa as part of their coverage. The plans are priced between $3.99 and $74.99 and provide data from 1 GB up to 26 GB, with validity periods ranging from 7 to 365 days. Most offers feature a fixed data amount rather than a daily data cap, and a number of plans also allow tethering.
