South Africa eSIM

Yes, once you scan the QR code your phone connects to a local network straight away. Most people are online within minutes of landing.

Yes, all plans are prepaid so you pay upfront and there are no surprise charges after your trip. What you see at checkout is exactly what you pay.

Yes, plans run on 4G across the country and 5G is available in parts of Johannesburg, Cape Town and other big cities. Your phone picks up the fastest signal available wherever you are.

Most plans last between 7 and 30 days. The timer starts when you activate it, not when you buy it, so no days go to waste.

Yes, you can share your data with a laptop, tablet or another phone through your device settings. No extra setup needed.

Most plans are data only which works well for most travellers since apps like WhatsApp and Google Maps cover everything. Your regular SIM stays active for calls and texts as normal.

Check that the eSIM is selected as your active data line in your settings and that data roaming is switched on. If it's still not working, just contact support and they'll get it sorted for you.

If you run out of data or your plan expires, just buy a new one the same way you did the first time. If you're unsure which plan to go for, the support team can help you out.

Coverage is solid across cities and popular tourist areas. In very remote or rural spots signal can be weaker, but for most routes travellers take it works reliably.

Yes, the whole process is done online. You buy the plan, get a QR code by email, scan it in your phone settings and you're connected. No store visit needed at all.
