mobineX eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MobineX does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for South Africa. All plans, even those named “Unlimited, ” have a set data allowance and include a reduced speed clause once the cap is reached—for example, 1 GB with speed throttled to 128kbps or 5 GB with speed throttled to 1024kbps.

Travelers who need more data can choose from fixed‑data plans such as 91 GB valid for 15 days at US$63.00, 65 GB for 10 days at US$43.00, or 100 GB for 60 days at US$287.50. These options offer higher data capacities and can be more cost‑effective for regular users, though they too have defined limits.

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.

There are 14 single‑country plans that cover only South Africa and 62 multi‑country plans that include South Africa in their coverage list. These plans span a price range from roughly $2.60 to $480 and offer data caps between 1 GB and 100 GB, with validity periods from 1 to 90 days. Some plans feature a fixed data allotment while others use a daily data cap before the overall cap is reached, giving travelers flexibility depending on how they intend to use the data during their stay.
