Cape Town eSIM FAQ
Can't find what you're looking for? Talk to us on WhatsApp or at help@wavee.global.
Chat on WhatsAppWhat is the best Cape Town eSIM plan?
For a week of travel with maps, messages and email, the 1 GB plan for 7 days (Ksh 970) is usually enough. With social media and video, expect to use 3 to 5 GB per week: the 5 GB plan for 30 days costs Ksh 3,460. For heavy use or work, unlimited plans start at Ksh 3,390 for 3 days.
Which networks does the Cape Town eSIM use?
The Cape Town eSIM works on the Cell C, MTN, Telkom and Vodacom networks, with up to 5G speeds where available.
Does the Cape Town eSIM come with a phone number?
No. Cape Town eSIM plans are data only. WhatsApp stays on your usual number, and you can keep your primary SIM in your phone.
How much data do I need for a 15-day trip?
With maps, messages and email, expect to use about 1 GB per week: the 2 GB plan for 15 days costs Ksh 1,690. With social media and video, it's more like 3 to 5 GB per week: the 10 GB plan for 30 days costs Ksh 5,100. If you'd rather not track your usage, 15 days of unlimited data costs Ksh 10,020.
eSIM, local SIM or roaming: which is best for your trip?
An eSIM does the job of a local SIM card, but you install it before you fly, with nothing to pick up and no need to remove your primary SIM. Cape Town eSIM plans start at Ksh 970, and 30 days of unlimited data costs Ksh 13,800 (Ksh 460 per day). With roaming, you pay whatever your network charges; with the eSIM, you know the price before you travel.
Can I top up without switching eSIMs?
On most plans, yes: you top up the same eSIM from your account or the Wavee app, with no new QR code and nothing to install. The top-up screen shows the plans that work with your eSIM.
Can I use my phone as a hotspot?
Usually yes, but it depends on the plan and the local network. If it matters for your trip, talk to us before you buy.
What if I can't use the eSIM?
You have up to 30 days after purchase to request a refund. If the eSIM has not been activated yet, we refund the full amount, whatever the reason (cancelled trip, incompatible or locked phone). If it's activated but doesn't work, our support team helps you fix it; if we don't solve it within 10 days, we refund everything or the unused part.
