Orbit Mobile eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Orbit Mobile does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. All of the listed offerings from Orbit Mobile for South Africa come with a fixed data cap. The largest available choice is the ZA 10GB for 30 days plan, priced at $20.50 USD, which supports 4G and 5G speeds and allows tethering. A smaller option is the ZA 5GB for 30 days plan at $11.50 USD, which also provides 4G and 5G coverage.

If a traveler does not need very high data consumption, these fixed‑data plans can be more cost‑effective. Unlimited data plans are not offered, so users who require unlimited usage would need to look at other providers or consider adding multiple fixed plans if their data needs exceed the available caps.

Orbit Mobile does not provide an eSIM plan for South Africa that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Customers can purchase only data‑only eSIMs in that country. To communicate while traveling, users can rely on data‑based services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which work over the data connection and do not require a local phone number or SMS.

Orbit Mobile provides a total of eight data plans available for use in South Africa. Four of those plans are designed for single‑country use, offering data ranges from 1 GB to 10 GB with a price span of roughly $3.00 to $60.00 per 30‑day validity period. In addition, four plans cover multiple countries, allowing users to roam across various destinations while still staying within the same pricing and data thresholds. Many of the plans also permit tethering, giving customers flexibility to share data with other devices.
