South Africa eSIM FAQs

How much data do I need?

For a 1–2 week trip, 3–5GB covers maps, messaging and social media. Choose 10GB or more for longer stays or remote work.

Can I install it in Australia before I fly?

Yes. Install it at home, leave it switched off, then turn on the eSIM and data roaming for that line when you land.

Do I keep my Australian phone number?

Yes. Your Australian SIM stays in your phone, so WhatsApp and iMessage keep working on your usual number. These are data-only plans, so use apps for calls.

What if the eSIM doesn't work on my phone?

Contact our Australian support team. If it's a technical issue we can't fix, our 100% money-back guarantee has you covered.
