MoodSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MoodSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. The plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their names actually contain a fixed data allowance—ranging from 500 MB to 10 GB per day—after which the speed is throttled (for example, to 512 kbps or 1 Mbps).

If a fixed data plan aligns better with your needs, MoodSIM offers larger options such as a 20 GB plan valid for 30 days with 4G coverage in South Africa, which can be more cost‑effective for travelers who require consistent high‑speed data without the speed reduction associated with the “Unlimited” series.

MoodSIM does not provide a South Africa eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only plans are offered for this destination. Travelers who need voice or text services can rely on data‑based VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which work over the data connection.

MoodSIM provides 13 single‑country data plans and 18 multi‑country data plans that cover South Africa. The plans are priced from about $3.48 to $112.26, with data caps ranging from 500 MB up to 20 GB. Most of the plans offer a fixed data amount rather than a daily data cap, giving customers a set amount of data for the validity period specified.
