nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Ethiopia

nextSIM does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed eSIM plan for Ethiopia. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name actually provide a fixed data allowance – 1 GB or 2 GB per day – and when the pre‑allocated data is used, the connection is throttled to a reduced speed of 512 kbps or 2000 kbps, respectively. Because of this post‑limit speed reduction, the data usage is still capped and it is not equivalent to an unlimited plan.

If you need higher data volumes without caps, nextSIM offers several fixed‑data options that may be more suitable. For example, a 20 GB plan valid for 30 days costs $156.27 USD, a 10 GB plan for 30 days is $94.15 USD, and a 5 GB plan for 30 days is $59.21 USD. These plans provide full 3G/4G/5G speeds for their entire validity period and can be a cost‑effective choice for travelers who expect to use a large amount of data.

nextSIM does not provide an Ethiopia eSIM that comes with a local phone number or SMS capability. The provider only offers data‑only eSIM plans for Ethiopia. Travelers can still use data‑only connectivity and rely on popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage to make calls and send messages over the data connection.

nextSIM provides 20 single‑country data plans for Ethiopia, with no multi‑country plans available. The prices range from roughly $15 up to $737, and the data caps on the plans go from 1 GB to 20 GB. Some options include a daily data cap, meaning the allotted data is reset each day, while others feature a fixed data cap that remains constant for the entire validity period.
