Virgin Connect Roam eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Virgin Connect Roam does not provide an unlimited‑data eSIM plan for South Africa. The provider’s catalogue contains only fixed‑data options. Two of the larger options are the South Africa 20GB for 30 days plan, priced at $134.00 USD, and the South Africa 10GB for 30 days plan, priced at $75.00 USD; both allow tethering and support 4G and, where available, 5G connectivity. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective for most travelers unless very heavy data consumption is anticipated.

Virgin Connect Roam does not offer an eSIM for South Africa that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. All available South Africa eSIMs from Virgin Connect Roam are data‑only plans. Travelers can still use voice and text services through internet‑based applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection.

Virgin Connect Roam provides six single‑country data plans for South Africa and twelve multi‑country data plans. The available plans have a price range from $9.50 to $147, with data caps that span from 1 GB to 20 GB and validity periods between 7 and 30 days. Some plans offer a fixed data allotment, while others apply data caps on a daily basis; tethering is permitted on certain options.
