Simfinity eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Simfinity does not provide an unlimited‑data eSIM specifically for South Africa. All of its South Africa‑only plans have a fixed data allowance, with the largest being a 20GB plan priced at $43.40 USD for 30 days. The only plans with unlimited validity are global or world‑wide passes, but they still carry data caps of 10GB or 25GB.

Travelers who need larger data capacities can choose from fixed‑data eSIMs such as the 20GB or 10GB options, which offer a simpler and often more cost‑effective solution unless a very heavy data user must consume more than the plan’s limit.

Simfinity does not provide any South Africa eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Their offerings for South Africa are limited to data‑only plans, so users will not receive voice or text service from the eSIM itself. Travelers can still use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages, but a traditional phone number or SMS service is not available through Simfinity for this destination.

Simfinity lists 6 single‑country data plans that are specifically tailored for use in South Africa, and 14 multi‑country plans that include South Africa among other destinations. The single‑country plans range in price from about $1.80 to $40 and offer data caps from 100 MB up to 10 GB, while the multi‑country options span the $45 to $158 range with data limits between 1 GB and 25 GB. Validity periods vary from no expiry on the highest‑end single‑country plans to 30‑day limits on many of the cheaper, shorter‑term options, and several plans allow tethering.
