nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Africa

No, nextSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Africa. All plans listed for African destinations have a fixed data allowance, ranging from 1GB per day to 50GB over a year. Some plans carry the label “Unlimited” in their name, but after the specified cap the speed is reduced (for example, 512 kbps or 2000 kbps), so the data is not unlimited in the high‑speed sense.

If a traveler needs a larger high‑speed data allowance, nextSIM offers several fixed‑data options. For instance, the eSIM GLOBAL 50GB 365Days Economy plan delivers 50 GB of high‑speed data valid for 365 days, and the eSIM GLOBAL 50GB 30Days Premium plan offers the same data volume for 30 days. These fixed plans can be more cost‑effective for heavy data users compared to the “Unlimited” plans that throttle speed after the limit is reached.

nextSIM does not provide Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. All eSIM offerings from nextSIM for African destinations are data‑only and do not support voice or text messages.

Travelers can still use the data connection for messaging and calling via VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, which operate over the internet and do not require a local phone number or SMS service.

Across its various plans—eSIM AFRICA Economy, eSIM Unlimited Standard Africa, eSIM Unlimited Plus Africa, eSIM AFRICA Premium, and the global plans that also include African coverage—nextSIM offers service to the African nations of Algeria, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Senegal, Seychelles, Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, and Zambia.
