Which networks does the Johannesburg 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 Johannesburg and anywhere else the local networks cover.
Can I keep my home number while using a Johannesburg eSIM?
Yes. Teraroma eSIMs are data-only and run alongside your home SIM, so calls and SMS to your usual number keep arriving.
