MoodSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

MoodSIM does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for South Africa. Their “Unlimited” plans all include a daily data allowance—such as 1 GB/day or 10 GB/day—and after that limit the speed is throttled (for example, to 512 kbps or 1 Mbps). If a traveler needs continuous high‑speed data without a daily cap, MoodSIM offers fixed data plans instead. Examples include the South Africa 20 GB 30 days plan for $30.99 and the South Africa Unlimited (10 GB/day, then 512 kbps) 1 day plan, which provide a set amount of high‑speed data for the entire validity period. These fixed‑data plans can be more cost‑effective for heavy data users than the daily‑limit options.

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 total of 13 single‑country data plans for South Africa and 18 multi‑country plans that include South Africa within their coverage. The plans cover a data range from 500 MB to 20 GB, priced between $2.49 and $121.99, and their validity periods span from one day up to a year. Some plans offer a fixed data amount for the entire duration, while others feature a daily data cap that resets each day, giving users flexibility depending on their usage patterns.
