mobineX eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MobineX does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. All plans that carry the “Unlimited” name have hard caps—either 1 GB or 5 GB of high‑speed data. Once the limit is reached, the connection throttles to 128 kbps or 1 024 kbps, respectively.

For travelers who require more data before throttling or who want a no‑throttle option, mobineX offers fixed‑data plans such as 100 GB for 60 days or 50 GB for 30 or 90 days. These larger data packages can be more cost‑effective for heavy‑usage users compared to the capped “Unlimited” options.

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 data plans that cover South Africa and an additional set of sixty‑four multi‑country data plans that include South Africa in their coverage. The plans range from about $2.60 to $480 and offer data caps between 1 GB and 100 GB, with validity periods from 1 to 90 days.
