Maya Mobile Global Data Best Unlimited180 countriesThis eSIM is unlimited and a fair-use limit of 5 GB at full speed per day. Once the daily amount is reached, your speed is reduced to 3 Mbps for the rest of the day and resets again the next day.
Fair-use policy based on information we automatically receive from the provider every 24 hours.
What's this?
Unlimited plans almost always apply a fair-use or data policy: speeds may be reduced after a high-speed allowance. Sometimes providers also throttle the speed from the start. Check the provider's terms before buying. We recommend caution if a provider doesn't clearly communicate its policy during checkout.

Frequently asked
How much does an eSIM for South Africa cost? + −
An eSIM for South Africa is available from €0.69. On Find Your eSIM we compare 38 eSIM providers.
A 10 GB plan valid for a week starts from €9.07. Prices range from €0.69 to well above €100, for plans with very long validity or very large data allowances.
These prices include a Find Your eSIM discount, applied with a discount code or through our link, depending on the provider. Without it you might pay more.
Is there an unlimited data eSIM for South Africa? + −
Yes, unlimited eSIMs are available for South Africa, but it matters what you are actually buying. 'Unlimited' almost never means truly unlimited internet: there is nearly always a fair use policy, and it pays to know what it says and what it means for you. Find Your eSIM helps you compare this clearly, without nasty surprises.
Usually only a limited amount of data per day runs at full speed, and not every provider is equally open about it.
At Find Your eSIM we work with providers to compare this fairly. When a provider clearly tells us what to expect, we show it while you compare. When a provider does not, we cannot compare it fairly, so be careful. Right now 20 providers transparently tell us what to expect.
Does a provider put all the responsibility on the local network? That is nonsense, so be cautious: as the seller of the eSIM, they are responsible for being transparent.
In the filter you can set how much full-speed data per day you want from an 'unlimited' plan. 3 GB per day is plenty for 90% of travellers.
How much data do I need for South Africa? + −
For a trip to South Africa, 10 GB is a popular choice among travellers and genuinely plenty for most people.
What you need depends on how you travel: maps and messaging use little, while streaming, video calls and sharing your connection use a lot more. Use our data calculator to estimate the right amount for your trip.
Can I make calls with an eSIM? + −
Apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime and Signal let you call and video-call over your data on any eSIM; how well that works depends on the local network and your speed. Some eSIMs also include a real phone number and minutes for normal calls. To find them, turn on the Voice filter on this page and compare only the plans that include calling.
If you call with your own phone number, you usually pay roaming charges. An eSIM provides data (and, on some plans, its own number); it does not take over the call costs of your own number.

About the listed prices and discounts
We show prices in euros so they're easy to compare. You can switch between British pounds, euros and US dollars at the top of the page, and we plan to add more currencies soon. Where a provider charges in another currency, we convert it during our daily price update, and all available discounts and promo codes are applied where possible.
Read more Show less
Some providers charge in a different currency from the one shown. Where that happens, we convert it during our daily update so you can compare plans fairly. If a provider adds a known surcharge for foreign payments, we try to include it in the price. Small rounding differences can occur, and because we refresh prices once a day, an offer may occasionally have changed by the time you visit. We aim to keep everything as accurate and up to date as possible.
All prices include any discount we're allowed to offer, often through a promo code. If a code is required, it's shown clearly next to the plan. Some providers apply conditions, such as being a new customer or meeting a minimum spend. These terms are set by the provider.
In most cases the price you see is the final one, with no hidden fees. The only exception may be charges from a payment provider, your bank or your card issuer when converting currencies. For some providers, the price shown includes VAT, so your final price may differ slightly depending on the country on your billing address.
Before we list a provider, we test it at least once. We do this to check that the service it promises is actually delivered, that it doesn't charge hidden fees, and that what you get reasonably matches what's advertised. We may occasionally remove or replace a provider to keep our selection relevant and trustworthy.
Advertiser disclosure
At Find Your eSIM, we earn a commission through affiliate links to eSIM providers. This doesn't cost you anything extra, and we often secure exclusive discounts. These commissions help us run the site. Our recommendations stay fully independent and focused on helping you find the best travel eSIM.

I'm Onne Bakker, an avid traveler who went fully remote two years ago. With a background in tech and telecom, I've been comparing eSIMs since 2023 and know them inside out. My small team and I test every provider before it's listed here, and I personally select the recommended providers at the top of this page, the ones I believe offer the best balance of price, quality and ease of use.

Unlimited
Want unlimited, but not throttled too soon? Set a minimum full speed per day to avoid surprises. Only affects unlimited plans. This slider applies to unlimited plans with a speed limit. When a provider gives full speed not per day but over a longer period (e.g. 60 GB across 30 days), we convert it to your trip length: travelling 6 days means about 10 GB/day. Providers that don't disclose how much full speed you get per day are set to 0, so they drop out as soon as you move the slider. Day bundles are left out here.
