How can I purchase an eSIM for South Africa?
Simply type in ‘South Africa’ in the search bar or click on ‘South Africa’ under our list of popular countries for a selection of available Data and Voice Plans. Once you have determined the best plan for you, simply click on ‘Buy Now’ in order to complete your purchase.
There are two types of eSIMs that will work in South Africa, either a South Africa single country eSIM or a regional eSIM that will cover you in both South Africa and the surrounding region. You will need to determine which of these options works best for you based on your trip requirements.
Upon purchase you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing simple user friendly installation and activation instructions. You will have the option of either scanning the QR code provided or installing your eSIM manually. Once installed and activated, please make sure your eSIM line is active and your ‘Data Roaming’ set to on (Please make sure to deactivate your primary SIM in order to avoid any roaming charges from your primary carrier).
Since you may not have internet or a secondary device in order to scan your QR code while traveling, we always recommend installling your eSIM prior to your trip. Please be aware that though you will be able to install your eSIM before your trip begins, your data connection will not be functional if the country you are located in is not covered under your data plan.
Not only can you activate an eSIM yourself, but we also provide very simple user friendly instructions for quick and easy activation via e-mail. Once installed and activated, please make sure your eSIM line is active and your ‘Data Roaming’ set to on (Please make sure to deactivate your primary SIM in order to avoid any unnecessary roaming charges from your primary carrier).
