nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Kenya

No, nextSIM does not provide a plan that offers truly unlimited high‑speed data for Kenya. The plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their name are capped at 1GB or 2GB of high‑speed data; once that allowance is reached the speed is throttled to 512kbps or 2000kbps.

If a larger, fixed data allowance is preferable, nextSIM offers several paid plans for Kenya. Examples include a 20GB plan valid for 30 days and a 50GB plan valid for 365 days, both of which provide full high‑speed data for their allotted time. These fixed data plans can be more cost‑effective for travelers who anticipate heavy data use.

nextSIM does not provide a Kenya eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The eSIM plans available from nextSIM for Kenya are data‑only, allowing travelers to use the internet and to communicate through VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage. These services work over the data connection, so calls and messages can still be sent and received without a local phone number.

nextSIM offers 26 single‑country data plans that are exclusively for Kenya and 42 multi‑country plans that include Kenya. Among these plans customers can choose between fixed‑data options, which provide a set amount of data for the entire validity period, and daily‑cap options, which restrict the amount of data that can be used each day. Prices for all Kenyan plans vary from roughly $4.26 to $1, 275.50, while the data amount available ranges from about 1 GB to 50 GB. Validity periods for these plans extend from a single day up to an entire year.
