nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for India

nextSIM does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for India. All of its “Unlimited” offers have a specified data cap, such as 1 GB or 2 GB, and after the cap is reached the speed is throttled—in most cases to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps. For travelers who need more high‑speed data, nextSIM offers fixed data plans, for example an eSIM India 20 GB 30 days Economy plan that covers the whole country at full speed, or a larger eSIM GLOBAL 50 GB 30 days Premium plan that includes India among 157 countries. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective unless very heavy data usage is expected.

nextSIM does not offer India eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. Customers can purchase only data‑only eSIMs for India, which provide high‑speed internet access but no local dialing or text messaging service. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection for voice and messaging without needing an actual phone number.

NextSIM offers 30 single‑country plans and 17 multi‑country plans for India, with data caps ranging from 1 GB to 50 GB and prices between roughly $3.51 and $1,291.53. The catalog also includes 14 daily‑data‑cap options and 33 fixed‑data‑cap options, giving customers the choice between plans that reset each day and those that provide a fixed amount of data for the entire validity period.
