mobineX eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MobineX does not provide a plan with truly unlimited high‑speed data for South Africa. All plans marketed as “Unlimited” include a capped amount of high‑speed data—1GB for the Unlimited Standard plan and 5GB for the Unlimited Gold plan—and specify a reduced speed after the limit is reached (128kbps for Standard, 1024kbps for Gold).

Travelers who need more data can choose from fixed‑data plans. For example, a 50GB plan valid for 30 days costs $152.50 USD, and a 100GB plan valid for 60 days costs $287.50 USD. These options offer larger data allowances without the speed reduction that applies after the capped amounts in the “Unlimited” plans and may be more cost effective for most users.

mobineX does not provide an eSIM for South Africa that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The available plans are data‑only, offering high‑speed internet but no built‑in telephony services such as inbound or outbound calls or text messages.

Travelers can still use VoIP applications like WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages, but these services rely on an internet connection rather than a traditional phone number or SMS functionality.

MobineX offers nine single‑country plans that cover South Africa and also provides 64 multi‑country plans that include the same destination. The available plans span a price range from roughly $2.60 to $480 and contain between 1 GB and 100 GB of data. Some options deliver a fixed data amount for the entire validity period, while others impose a daily data cap. Both types of plans are available across validity periods that can last from a single day up to ninety days.
