Africa eSIM questions
How much does the Africa eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $15.95 for 3GB over 7 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $44.95. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.
How much data do I need in Africa?
Most travellers use about 1GB a day with maps, messaging and some social media, so 10GB ($44.95) covers a week. Just maps and messages? 3GB ($15.95) is enough for a week. Streaming or a laptop hotspot? Pick 50GB ($132.95). See how much data each app uses.
Which countries does the Africa eSIM cover?
6 countries: Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Réunion, South Africa and Tunisia. See the full list.
Does it switch networks when I cross a border?
Yes. Your phone joins a local network in each country by itself, usually within a few minutes of crossing. One plan covers all 6 countries, so your data and days carry on. If it doesn't connect, turn Airplane mode on and off.
Does it work in Kenya, Tanzania or Morocco?
No, those aren't in the Africa eSIM. The Global eSIM covers Kenya, Tanzania and Morocco, and 114 more countries.
Does it work on Reunion Island?
Yes. Reunion is one of the 6 countries, so it's covered the same as the mainland ones.
Does it work on safari?
At most lodges and rest camps, yes. Out on game drives signal is patchy, so download offline maps first.
Is 4G fast enough?
Yes. 4G handles maps, messages, video calls and photo uploads with no trouble.
When does my Africa plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Africa. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Africa eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Africa plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Africa eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
