SimOptions eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

SimOptions does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. Instead, the provider offers fixed‑data plans, such as the South Africa 50GB plan valid for 60 days, the South Africa 30GB plan for 30 days, the 20GB and 10GB options, and the Holiday World eSIM that bundles 20GB for 31 days and covers South Africa plus 26 other countries. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective unless a traveler is an extremely heavy data consumer who would otherwise opt for an unlimited plan.

SimOptions does not provide a South Africa eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are offered for South Africa. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for both voice and text communication.

SimOptions currently offers eight data plans for South Africa. This includes seven single-coverage plans specifically for South Africa, and one multi-country plan that includes South Africa along with other countries. These plans range in price from approximately $4.50 to $73.90 and provide data allowances from 1GB up to 50GB. Plans are available with validity periods ranging from 7 to 60 days. Some plans offer a fixed amount of data, while others may provide a daily data allowance.
