GLOBAL YO eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

GLOBAL YO does not provide any unlimited data eSIM plans for South Africa. The available options are fixed‑data packages that deliver a set amount of high‑speed data for a specified period.

For travelers who need substantial data, GLOBAL YO offers plans such as the South Africa – 60 days – 100 GB package, priced at $109.99 USD, and the Global Explorer 100 – 365 days – 100 GB package, also priced at $109.99 USD. Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective for most users, unless the user is an extremely heavy data consumer who would prefer an unlimited plan.

GLOBAL YO does not provide South Africa eSIMs that include a local phone number or SMS capability. Travelers can only obtain data‑only eSIMs with this provider; voice and text services can be handled through internet‑based messaging and calling apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage using the data connection.

GLOBAL YO offers a total of 74 distinct data plans for travelers visiting South Africa, split between 15 single‑country options and 59 multi‑country variations. The plans range in price from about $5.89 to nearly $180 and supply data amounts anywhere between 1 GB and 100 GB. Providers typically offer two main types of plans: fixed‑data plans that give a set amount of data for the entire validity period, and daily‑cap plans that provide a daily data allowance, the latter allowing a short‑term, high‑usage burst before a reset. Both plan categories include features such as tethering where permitted and a reduced speed of 512 kbps once a cap is reached.
