How to install

  1. Pick your plan and pay with the crypto of your choice.
  2. Open the email we send you on your phone and tap Install. From another screen, scan the QR code.
  3. Set the eSIM as your line for mobile data. Keep your own SIM for calls.
  4. When you land, switch the eSIM on. If it does not connect, turn on Data Roaming for it.

Your phone must be unlocked and support eSIM. By buying you agree to our Terms, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy.

Why buy the South Africa eSIM with crypto

Maps and translation apps need data from the moment you land in Cape Town or Johannesburg. Paid with crypto you already hold: no card and no ID check. Travelling further? See Nigeria eSIM, Kenya eSIM and Morocco eSIM, or every eSIM you can pay for in crypto.

Frequently asked questions

Should I install it before I travel?
Yes, at home on Wi-Fi: installing needs internet. Switch it on when you land in South Africa.

Does it come with a phone number?
No, it is data only. WhatsApp and other apps work over the data.

Which country will websites see me in?
France or the Netherlands, not South Africa. Your data leaves the network through a gateway in one of these countries, so websites and apps see an IP address in one of them. Maps, messaging and browsing work as usual; a few local banking or streaming apps may treat you as abroad.

Will it work on my phone?
Your phone must be unlocked and support eSIM. Quick check: dial *#06#. If you see an EID, it does. A phone locked to one operator will not accept it.

Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 30 days of purchase, as long as the eSIM has not been installed. Write to samantha@genghis.pro with your order number and you get a full refund in USDT, USDC or store credit. Once installed, it cannot be refunded.

What if it does not connect?
Check that the eSIM line is on and set for mobile data, and turn on Data Roaming for it: travel eSIMs connect as roaming lines. Then turn Airplane Mode on and off. Still offline? Write to samantha@genghis.pro with your order number and phone model, and keep the eSIM on the phone.
