Does Sim Local offer unlimited data eSIM for South Africa?
Sim Local does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. The plan titled “South Africa Unlimited Data 7 Days” has a cap of 10 GB per day and therefore is not unlimited; it does not offer unrestricted high‑speed data.
Instead, Sim Local offers fixed‑data plans for travelers. For example, a 20 GB data allowance can be purchased for 31 days at about $35 USD, or for 30 days at about $48.25 USD, and a 10 GB plan is available for 30 days at approximately $26.25 USD. These plans provide large data allotments and may be more cost‑effective for users who need a substantial amount of data without the restrictions of a capped daily limit.
Does Sim Local offer South Africa eSIM with phone number and SMS?
Sim Local does not provide a South Africa eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. All of its South Africa eSIM options are data‑only plans, so travelers cannot make traditional voice calls or receive SMS messages with a local number. However, the data connection allows the use of VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which enable calls and messaging over the internet.
How many data plans does Sim Local offer for South Africa?
Sim Local offers 10 single‑country data plans for South Africa and additionally 3 multi‑country plans. Within the single‑country offering, two plans provide a daily data cap that refreshes each day, while the remaining eight are fixed‑data‑cap plans that deliver a set data quantity for the entire validity period. Prices range from roughly $4.75 to $87.00, and data caps vary between 1 GB and 20 GB over validity periods of 7 to 31 days.
