WonderConnect eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

WonderConnect does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for South Africa. For travelers who need a large data allowance, WonderConnect offers fixed data plans that can be a more economical choice. One option is a 20GB plan valid for 30 days that costs $29.75 USD, while another option is a 10GB plan also valid for 30 days at $22.10 USD. These plans are available to all users traveling to South Africa and use the provider’s 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. Should a user anticipate extremely heavy data usage, an unlimited plan would be preferable, but such a plan is not currently offered by WonderConnect for South Africa.

WonderConnect does not provide South Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIMs are available from this provider for travelers in South Africa. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage over the data connection for voice and messaging, but they will not receive a local phone number or be able to send or receive standard SMS.

WonderConnect provides 5 single‑country data plans and 10 multi‑country plans that cover South Africa. Single‑country plans typically offer a fixed data amount ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB, with validity periods from 7 to 30 days, and prices in the $6 to $162.50 range. Multi‑country plans generally follow the same data and validity ranges but include coverage in several additional destinations; these also fall within the $6 to $162.50 price range and many of them allow tethering for use on multiple devices.
