MoodSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MoodSIM does not provide a true unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for South Africa. The plans that list “Unlimited” in the name actually offer a fixed data allowance—such as 500 MB to 10 GB for a single day—and once the allocated data is used, the speed is reduced to 512 kbps or 1 Mbps.

If a larger, continuous data supply is preferred, MoodSIM offers fixed‑data plans such as the 20 GB 30‑day plan for South Africa, which provides 4G coverage without a throttling threshold during the validity period. These fixed plans may be more cost‑effective unless a traveler requires continuous, unrestricted high‑speed data.

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 a mix of single‑country and multi‑country data plans for travelers in South Africa. In total, there are 13 single‑country plans and 18 multi‑country plans available. The pricing for these plans ranges from about $3.48 to $112.30, while the data caps vary from 500 MB to 20 GB. Most plans offer a fixed data amount that can be used over a period of 1 to 365 days; some may include daily data caps for more frequent travelers, but the exact daily limits are only outlined in the individual plan details. This gives users a broad spectrum of options, from very low‑cost, small‑data plans to premium, high‑data packages suitable for prolonged stays or multiple destinations.
