Saily eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Saily does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for South Africa. Plans that include “UNLIMITED” in their name actually come with a 30GB data cap; once that limit is reached the speed drops to 1024kbps. For travelers who need a large amount of data, Saily provides fixed‑data plans such as the 20GB 30‑day plan priced at $39.99 USD or the 10GB 30‑day plan priced at $24.99 USD. These fixed‑data options provide full‑speed data up to the specified limit and then terminate service, which can be more cost‑effective for most users.

Saily does not provide a South Africa eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Their South Africa offerings are data‑only plans, so users cannot make traditional voice calls or receive SMS messages. However, travelers can still use messaging and calling apps that operate over a data connection, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, to stay in touch while abroad.

Saily offers five single‑country plans that cover South Africa alone and seven multi‑country plans that include South Africa as part of a larger coverage area. The available data plans range from as little as 1 GB to 30 GB and come in prices between approximately $3.99 and $66.99, giving travelers a broad spectrum of options depending on their data needs and budget.
