Ubigi eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Ubigi does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. All available Ubigi plans for the country have a fixed data cap, ranging from 60GB to 200GB, and are valid for either 30 days or 360 days.

A popular option is the 200GB plan, valid for 360 days, priced at $290.00 USD and offered on 5G networks with coverage in South Africa and many other countries. For travelers who need less data or a shorter period, a 60GB plan for 30 days is available at $88.00 USD. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective for most users unless very heavy data consumption is expected.

Ubigi does not provide eSIM plans for South Africa that include a phone number or SMS capability. The provider offers only data‑only eSIMs for this destination, so travelers cannot receive ordinary text messages or carry out standard voice calls through a carrier number.

You can still use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for calls and messaging, but availability of these services can vary. Travelers should confirm that the apps they rely on are accessible in South Africa before purchasing an Ubigi eSIM.

Ubigi offers 9 single‑country plans for South Africa and 33 multi‑country plans that include South Africa. The plans available range in price from roughly $5 to $390, with data caps spanning from 500 MB to 200 GB over validity periods of 7 to 365 days. The single‑country options grant a fixed amount of data for use only within South Africa, while the multi‑country bundles provide access to the same data amount across several countries, typically allowing the user to spread usage over days or use a daily data cap.
