Strong eSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Strong eSIM does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. All available plans have a fixed data allowance: for example, the South Africa 20GB 30Days plan provides 20GB of data for 30 days at $52.90 USD, and the South Africa 10GB/Day plan offers 10GB for a single day at $14.00 USD.

Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost effective for most travelers unless they are extremely heavy data users. These plans include tethering, use 4G and 5G networks, and cover South Africa with the stated amounts of data.

Strong eSIM currently does not provide a South Africa eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS functionality. The provider’s South Africa plans are data‑only. For communication, travelers can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, which work over the data connection without a traditional phone number or SMS capability.

Strong eSIM lists 14 single‑country (South Africa‑only) data plans and 18 multi‑country plans that include South Africa, for a total of 32 available options. Prices range from $2.40 up to $224.90, with data caps between 100 MB and 20 GB and validity periods from 1 day to 365 days. The single‑country plans provide dedicated data for use solely in South Africa, while the multi‑country plans allow the same data to be used across several destinations, making the latter a flexible option for travelers who wish to stay connected in more than one country.
