What you get with Ubigi in South Africa
⚡
Set up before you fly
Buy in the Ubigi app and install your QR code at home. Your plan activates automatically when you first connect to a local tower in South Africa.
📱

📊

☎️

📅
Flexible up to 30 days
Ubigi South Africa plans run up to 30 days from first use. Buy in advance so you’re ready the moment you land.
Which Ubigi plan should you pick?
For a short city break of 3–5 days, the cheapest plan at $16 will cover Maps, WhatsApp and casual browsing. If you’re spending one to two weeks travelling around South Africa, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value on a per-GB basis in Ubigi’s South Africa lineup.
If you plan to work remotely, stream video daily, or use your phone as a hotspot, lean towards a larger bundle — the 10 GB option is the safer choice. The unlimited plans cost a premium but make sense for heavy users who don’t want to track usage.
One thing to note: Ubigi South Africa plans are data-only. You won’t get a local number, but your existing SIM handles calls and texts as normal. iMessage, WhatsApp and FaceTime all work over data.
