South Africa eSIM FAQ

Do I need an unlocked phone for a South Africa eSIM?+

Yes in most cases. Your device must support eSIM and is normally carrier-unlocked so it can join partner networks abroad.

When should I install my South Africa eSIM?+

You can usually install before travel over Wi-Fi. Keep the line ready, then enable mobile data and roaming after you arrive if your plan requires it.

Will my home number keep working?+

Your physical SIM or existing line can stay in the phone. Follow the install instructions so the travel eSIM is used for data when you want it.

How do I get the QR code?+

Open My eSIMs after purchase and choose View QR Code & Details, or use the installation email when delivery succeeds.

What if I need help with my South Africa eSIM?+

Use the Support Center, iPhone and Android install guides, or contact MAP eSIM with your order reference.
