Chat with usWhen should I install it?
At home, on Wi-Fi, a day or two before you fly. Turn the eSIM line on when you land in South Africa.
Does it work in the countryside and on trains?
Coverage is nationwide on MTN / Vodacom (4G LTE). Tunnels and remote mountains can drop signal briefly, like any network.
Can I top up if I run out?
Yes — you can buy another plan or message us any time and we’ll set you up.
What happens after my daily data?
On Daily data plans you stay connected at reduced speed (128 kbps) until the allowance resets.
What if I visit multiple countries on my trip?
This plan is for South Africa. If your trip covers multiple countries, pick one of our regional eSIM plans (Europe, Asia, Americas, or Global).
