Frequently Asked Questions

Does my phone support South Africa eSIM?

Most modern smartphones (iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later) support eSIM. Check your device settings under Mobile/Cellular to confirm.

How do I activate a South Africa eSIM?

After purchase, you'll instantly receive a one-tap installation link by email — works on both iPhone and Android. Tap the link and your phone will guide you through the setup automatically. No QR code scanning, no manual configuration.

Can I use my regular SIM and the South Africa eSIM at the same time?

When does my South Africa eSIM validity start?

Validity starts from the first time data is used in South Africa, not from the purchase date, so you can buy it in advance.

What happens when I run out of data in South Africa?

You will receive a low-data notification. You can purchase an additional data package from FlySimGo at any time without needing to reinstall the eSIM.
