Ubigi eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Ubigi does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for travel in South Africa. All Ubigi plans for South Africa have a defined data cap, typically 60 GB or 50 GB, and apply a reduced speed after the cap is reached.

If a higher data allowance is needed, fixed‑data plans are available. For example, a 60 GB plan valid for 30 days costs $88.00 USD, and another 60 GB plan valid for 30 days costs $129.00 USD. A 50 GB plan also lasts 30 days and is priced at $55.00 USD. These options offer substantial data for most travelers and may be more cost‑effective for users who do not require unlimited data.

Ubigi does not provide eSIM plans for South Africa that include a local phone number or SMS capability. The available South Africa eSIMs from Ubigi are only data‑only plans, so users will not receive a line for voice calls or text messages.

Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage to make calls and send messages over the data connection. These services do not require a local phone number or SMS support.

Ubigi provides 9 single‑country data plans that cover only South Africa, while an additional 27 multi‑country plans that include South Africa are available. The single‑country plans are all fixed‑data plans, whereas the multi‑country listings include both fixed‑data offers and 2 daily‑data‑cap options. Across the catalogue, prices run from about US $5.00 to US $210.00 and data amounts range from 500 MB up to 60 GB.
