How much does the South Africa eSIM cost?
The South Africa 20GB 30Days plan costs $29.75 for 20 GB over 30 days, paid once with no hidden fees.
How do I activate my South Africa eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the GotoeSIM app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in South Africa.

It works on any eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models.

Can I use it in nearby countries too?
Hi Sophia! Our South Africa plan is built for use there, so it won't cover neighboring countries. For a multi-country trip, check our regional Africa plan or grab a separate eSIM for each stop. Any questions, just reach us at gotoesim.com/support. – Tom

Do I need to install it before I travel or after I arrive?
