Nimbus for South Africa FAQ
Does Nimbus offer unlimited data eSIM for South Africa?
Nimbus does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed eSIM plan for South Africa. Its plans that carry the “Unlimited” label contain a fixed high‑speed data allowance of 15 GB per validity period, after which the speed is reduced to 512 kbps. Therefore the plans named South Africa (Unlimited/…) are in fact capped at 15 GB of high‑speed data.
Instead, Nimbus offers fixed‑data plans that give larger data totals. For example, a South Africa (60 GB/30 Days) plan provides 60 GB of data for 30 days at $231.99 USD, while South Africa (50 GB/15 Days) and (50 GB/30 Days) offer 50 GB for $189.49 and $189.99 USD respectively, and South Africa (40 GB/15 Days) and (40 GB/30 Days) provide 40 GB for $157.49 and $157.99 USD. These plans may be more cost‑effective for users who need more than 15 GB of data.
Does Nimbus offer South Africa eSIM with phone number and SMS?
Nimbus currently does not offer any South Africa eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Travelers who need voice or text messaging can use data-only plans and rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage to make calls and send messages over the internet. However, some destinations or networks may block or restrict VoIP services, so it is advisable to confirm that the apps you depend on are accessible in South Africa prior to purchasing an eSIM.
How many data plans does Nimbus offer for South Africa?
Nimbus offers 33 single‑country plans and 8 multi‑country plans for South Africa.
