    Works well in Cape Town and surrounds

    The eSIM I used when visiting South Africa from Australia has worked perfectly. No issues. I bought 10GB and after 15 days have only used 3GB. We have mainly used it for navigation (sometimes for long trips) and general browsing/emails etc. no streaming. Great product so easy to activate.

    Thank you Edwina! We’re so glad the South Africa eSIM worked perfectly for you, and that activation was easy. We appreciate your positive feedback!

    Frequently Asked Questions about South Africa eSIM

    What is an eSIM?

    An eSIM, or embedded Subscriber Identity Module, is a virtual SIM card integrated into devices like smartphones and smartwatches. Unlike physical SIM cards, eSIMs are programmed remotely, enabling easy network switching and activation without needing physical swaps. They offer flexibility for changing carriers and plans, convenient international travel connectivity, and the management of multiple numbers on one device. While not universally supported, eSIM technology reduces the reliance on physical cards and simplifies the user experience by allowing remote provisioning of cellular services.
