Nomad eSIM Data Plans for Africa

Nomad does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for Africa. All of its Africa‑targeted plans have a fixed data allowance, such as the 10 GB Regional Africa – 30 days plan priced at $45.00 and the 5 GB Regional Africa – 30 days plan priced at $28.00. Travelers who need more data can choose between these fixed‑cap options or look for other plans with higher allowances. Choosing a fixed data plan is usually more cost‑effective unless the user expects to consume data at an extremely high rate.

Nomad does not provide Africa eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. All available plans are data‑only, so travelers cannot receive or send text messages and cannot make inbound or outbound voice calls on a traditional cellular number.

However, users can still communicate while traveling by using popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage. These apps work over the data connection provided by Nomad’s eSIM and allow voice and text communication without the need for a traditional phone number.

Nomad offers three eSIM plans that cover various African countries. The “Regional Africa” plan includes Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Mauritius, Nigeria, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, and Zambia. The “Regional Global” plan covers Cameroon, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Mauritius, Nigeria, Réunion, Seychelles, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, and Zambia. The “Africa__” plan reaches Benin, Cape Verde, Guinea, Liberia, Lesotho, Mauritania, Mozambique, Réunion, Rwanda, and Eswatini (Swaziland).
