nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Africa

nextSIM does not provide a true unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Africa. All plans billed as “Unlimited” deliver a fixed daily data allowance—1 GB per day or 2 GB per day. Once the daily limit is reached the speed drops to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps, respectively.

For travelers who need unrestricted high‑speed data, nextSIM offers fixed‑data alternatives. Examples include a 20 GB 30‑day plan priced at $133.52, which covers major African countries, or a 50 GB 365‑day plan for $126.70 that covers a larger set of African nations. These fixed‑data plans may be more cost‑effective for heavy data consumers than the capped “Unlimited” options.

NextSIM does not provide Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or support SMS. The provider offers only data‑only eSIM plans for that region.

Because no telephony or SMS capabilities are available, travelers can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages, but a traditional phone number or SMS channel is not part of the plans.

nextSIM eSIM plans for Africa cover a broad range of countries across the continent and surrounding territories. The plans include South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia, Madagascar, Mauritania, Cameroon, Mauritius, Réunion, Seychelles, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Algeria, Gabon, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Sudan, Senegal, Chad, and Lesotho. Some offerings such as eSIM Africa and eSIM Unlimited Plus Africa list these state‑level destinations, while eSIM Global, eSIM Global Premium, and eSIM Unlimited Plus Global expand coverage to the same set of African territories and additionally incorporate overseas regions like Réunion and Seychelles, which are geographically part of Africa despite being overseas islands.
