Yesim eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Yesim sells unlimited data eSIM plans for South Africa. The plans are available for 1 day, 7 days, 15 days, and 30 days, with prices ranging from $8.17 USD for the 1 day plan to $63.00 USD for the 30 day plan. All of these plans include tethering and use 3G or LTE networks.

Each unlimited plan is subject to a Fair Usage Policy, so speed may be throttled after heavy use. Travelers who need more details about the policy or typical data amount at normal speed should contact Yesim directly to confirm the terms.
