Orbit Mobile eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Orbit Mobile does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. Travelers who need large data allowances can choose from fixed‑data plans instead. For example, the 20GB Global Pass Plus is priced at $64.00 USD for 30 days, and the 10GB ZA plan costs $23.00 USD for 30 days. Selecting a fixed‑data option can be more cost‑effective for most users who do not require truly unlimited data.

Orbit Mobile does not provide eSIM plans for South Africa that include a phone number or SMS capability. All plans offered for South Africa are strictly data‑only, so travelers cannot make or receive traditional voice calls or send text messages using a local phone number.

Travelers who need voice or text communication can use VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. However, some destinations may restrict access to certain apps or VoIP services, so it is advisable to confirm that the tools you rely on work in South Africa before purchasing an eSIM.

Orbit Mobile provides 4 single‑country plans that cover South Africa and 9 multi‑country plans that include South Africa. The plans are primarily fixed‑data packages, ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB, and cost between $3.50 and $95.00 for a 30‑day validity; some of the options allow tethering.
