The Best eSIM For South Africa - Travel Roam is Here

If you are planning a trip to South Africa, then you’ll need to get sorted out with an eSIM to ensure you stay in contact with the people who matter to you.

A Travel Roam eSIM can help you a lot with getting around South Africa with minimal issues, and it’s easy to get started with. Let’s talk about what you need to know.

Naturally, if you want to go travelling around South Africa, you need to ensure that you pick the right kind of eSIM for your needs.

We offer a range of different data plans so it shouldn’t be difficult to find what you need. You can choose from a selection of different GB amounts to find what you need. Furthermore, we offer access to top-up packages so you’ll never be without your data.

There are many considerations for picking an eSIM in South Africa. Let’s take a look at them together:

● First of all, where will you be travelling to? If you’re just visiting South Africa, then we recommend you pick an eSIM for just roaming the country - in other situations, you may need to get a global or regional eSIM device.

● Your second concern will always be how long you’re going to be travelling for. All of our plans have different lengths so you can pick and choose how much data you need and then marry it up with the right length of plan.

Before you buy your eSIM, you should check that it is compatible with your phone. Older models don’t support eSIM usage, so you’ll need to have a phone which is both carrier-unlocked - meaning that you’re not in a fixed contract - and eSIM compatible, which applies to most phones made after 2019.

Buying and Installing a Travel Roam eSIM - Your Guide

Buying and installing your eSIM for South Africa isn’t a difficult task. Let’s take a look at what you need to know.

The first thing to do is go onto the Travel Roam website and buy yourself an eSIM. This shouldn’t be too difficult. We’ve made it easy to navigate around and find the right eSIM for your trip. You’ll need to pick out the right amount of data and plan length.

Once you have bought the eSIM, you need to install it on your phone. You can do it directly, following the prompts we give you, manually through your phone, or scan the QR code provided.

The next step in using your eSIM is to activate it. We recommend you check the activation policy for your eSIM, because some go live as soon as you install it, but others wait until you connect to a local network.

Connecting to an eSIM network is easy enough to do - you need to navigate to the Settings of your device and turn on data roaming and activate the eSIM. The method for doing this will vary from one device to another, so keep that in mind.
