How It Works
-
Buy your South Africa eSIM
Purchase your prepaid South Africa eSIM before your trip if you do not already have one. -
Install your eSIM
After purchase and activation, your eSIM QR code appears in your WraptelDataSIM online account. Install it on an unlocked, eSIM-compatible phone, tablet, or supported device. -
Add a South Africa-compatible data plan
Choose a World Unlimited Data Plan or the South Africa 10GB Fixed Data Plan based on your travel dates, daily data needs, and expected usage. -
Use mobile data in South Africa
Connect to supported partner networks where available and use your eSIM for maps, messaging, apps, email, browsing, hotspot, and travel data.
Most eSIM activations and top-ups are completed within minutes during business hours. Please allow up to 12 hours in rare cases.
What Does Unlimited Data Mean?
World Unlimited Data Plans are designed to keep you connected throughout your trip. Depending on the plan selected, you receive a daily high-speed data allowance. After the daily high-speed allowance is used, speeds may be reduced until the next daily reset.
This gives you the convenience of unlimited access while still allowing you to choose the plan tier that best matches how much high-speed data you expect to use each day.
If you prefer a set amount of high-speed data without a daily high-speed allowance, the South Africa 10GB Fixed Data Plan may be a better fit for your trip.
For complete details about daily high-speed allowances, managed speeds, reset times, expiry, and top-ups, please review our Fair Usage and Expiry Policy.
