Nomad eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Nomad does not provide any unlimited data eSIM options for South Africa. Instead, travelers can choose from a range of fixed‑data plans that cover both local and extended roaming use. For example, a local 20 GB plan is available for 30 days at $39.00 USD, a 10 GB plan for the same period costs $25.00 USD, and a larger regional plan offers 50 GB for 365 days at $170.00 USD. Selecting a fixed‑data plan is usually more cost‑effective unless a user needs very high data volumes, in which case purchasing additional data or a larger allowance may be preferable.

Nomad offers a combination of single‑country and multi‑country data plans for South Africa. Customers can choose from 5 single‑country plans that provide a fixed data allocation, and 14 multi‑country plans that allow use across multiple destinations while still meeting South African coverage needs. The data caps available range from 1 GB up to 50 GB, and the prices for these plans span roughly $5 to $170. Validity periods vary from 7 days to a full year of 365 days. Some plans also include a daily data cap option rather than a single fixed amount, and selecting a plan that permits tethering is optional on certain offerings.
