    Both work well in South Africa!

When should I activate the SIM?

Do I need to register the SIM in South Africa?

No! Our SIMs are pre-registered—skip airport lines and start using data immediately.

Can I hotspot with this SIM?

Yes! Share data with family or other devices (great for safari lodges with weak Wi-Fi).

How long is the SIM valid?

Typically 7–30 days, depending on the plan. Some can be extended by topping up.

How much data do I get?

Plans range from 1GB to 20GB+, with options for short trips or month-long stays. Some include local calls/texts—check product details.

Will this SIM card work everywhere in South Africa?

Yes! Our SIMs connect to major networks like Vodacom and MTN, covering cities (Johannesburg, Cape Town) and popular tourist areas. Remote parks/reserves may have limited coverage.

Can I use my phone with this SIM?

Most unlocked phones work. If your phone is carrier-locked, contact your provider before traveling.
