Mobile internet in South Africa with SIM card South Africa
With the South African SIMs from Airport Telecom, you can use mobile data throughout South Africa on the Vodacom network. Activation of the SIMs will take place automatically once connected to the network in South Africa. You can choose between a 12GB and an Unlimited data plan. Both are ideal for internet usage and give easy 4G and 5G access to email, WhatsApp, navigation, and other internet applications.
Whatsapp with sim card South Africa
All calls over the Internet such as Whatsapp, Skype, Facetime etc. are of course also possible. After all, you then use the data bundle on the sim card. Like all other apps, you can continue to use Whatsapp as usual. Once WhatsApp realizes there is a different SIM card in your phone, Whatsapp may ask if you want to create a new account or if everything should remain as it was. If you then choose the latter, nothing at all will change on Whatsapp. You will then just keep your existing WhatsApp identity with all contacts, groups and chats.
Coverage in South Africa
Cellular network coverage is generally good in South Africa. This is certainly true in the main South African cities such as Cape Town, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Durban and Port Elisabeth. Coverage is also excellent in other more densely populated areas. However, it should be kept in mind that South Africa is a large country with remote areas as well. In such less populated areas, it is possible that there is no or less mobile phone coverage. This also applies, for example, to national parks such as the Kruger Park. Table Mountain and Cape of Good Hope are close to Cape Town so there is also good coverage there for calling and internet with the South African SIM card.

Which SIM card to use in South Africa?
For a short stay of a few days, you probably won't need that much data. The 12GB data bundle for South Africa may then be sufficient.
