Who sells and who supports
Why this site exists
Buying a SIM in South Africa means a shop, your passport and RICA registration. That is fine for residents and a nuisance on a first morning in Johannesburg. An eSIM bought before the flight skips all of it, and the questions that decide the purchase (Does my phone take one? Will my number still work? What does roaming mean here?) deserve plain answers with sources. That is what this site is for.

What we publish and what we do not
We name the country’s networks (Vodacom, MTN, Cell C, Telkom and rain) because your phone will meet them. We say when a plan roams and what it connects to; these South Africa plans are Africa regional plans, and every page that mentions them says so. We do not invent reviews, we do not claim to outrank anyone, and we do not publish a price the store does not show.
Every fact page carries the day its facts were checked and the sources they came from. See How we check and our Editorial policy, or write to contact@localsimsouthafrica.com.
