mobineX eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

mobineX does not provide a true unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for South Africa. The plans that carry the label “Unlimited” actually have a fixed data allowance; the “Unlimited Standard” plan gives 1GB of high‑speed data, after which the speed is reduced to 128kbps, and the “Unlimited Gold” plan gives 5GB before throttling to 1024kbps.

If high‑speed data capacity is a priority, mobineX offers large fixed‑data options instead. For example, a 100GB plan valid for 60 days is available for $287.50–$480.00 USD, and a 50GB plan is available for 30 or 90 days for $152.50–$249.00 USD. These fixed plans may be more cost‑effective for travelers who need a substantial amount of data while still maintaining decent speeds.

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 and 62 multi‑country plans for South Africa. The available plans cover a price range from roughly $2.60 to $480, with data cap options spanning from 1 GB to 100 GB, and validity periods that can last anywhere between one day and ninety days.
