SimSmash eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

SimSmash does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM plan for South Africa. All of its South Africa listings include a specific data cap such as 490MB, 1GB, 2GB, 3GB, 10GB, or 20GB. Plans marked as “Unlimited” are named that way but still have a fixed data allowance, after which the speed is reduced if data is exceeded.

If a traveler needs a large amount of high‑speed data, SimSmash offers fixed‑cap options such as a 20GB plan valid for 30 days or a 10GB plan also for 30 days. These plans allow tethering and use 5G networks across South Africa, offering a cost‑effective alternative for users who consume a substantial amount of data.

SimSmash does not offer eSIM plans with a phone number or SMS capability for South Africa. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available from this provider.

Travelers can use data‑based VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage to make calls and send messages without a dedicated phone number or SMS service.

SimSmash provides 10 single‑country data plans that cover South Africa, and it also offers 14 multi‑country plans that include South Africa as part of a broader coverage package.
The available plans vary in data allotment from as little as 490 MB to the upper end of 20 GB, with prices falling between roughly $1.59 and $67.99. While most plans follow a fixed data amount structure, some include daily data caps that reset each day within the validity period; all plans allow tethering where applicable.
