Which networks does the Cape Town eSIM use?
Our current South Africa plans connect to Cell C, MTN, Telkom, Vodacom. The network your phone picks depends on the plan and local signal.
Do I need a separate eSIM for other cities in South Africa?
No. South Africa plans are country-wide, so the same eSIM works in Cape Town and anywhere else the local networks cover.
Can I keep my home number while using a Cape Town eSIM?
Yes. Teraroma eSIMs are data-only and run alongside your home SIM, so calls and SMS to your usual number keep arriving.
