nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

Although some plans are named “Unlimited, ” each actually contains a fixed high‑speed data allowance—1 GB or 2 GB per day—after which the speed drops to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps. This means nextSIM does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Africa.
Travelers who need more data can select from large fixed‑data plans, such as the eSIM South Africa 50GB 30Days Standard for $87.84 USD or the eSIM South Africa 100GB 30Days Standard for $155.37 USD, which provide generous high‑speed data without daily caps. Choosing a large fixed plan is usually more cost‑effective for heavy data users.

nextSIM does not provide a South Africa eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available for travelers to South Africa. Users who wish to make calls or send messages can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection.

NextSIM provides a variety of data options for travellers in South Africa, split into single‑country and multi‑country offerings.

The catalog features both daily‑cap plans (28 in total) and fixed‑cap plans (57 in total). Prices across the portfolio range from about $4.20 to $1, 296.79, while data caps span from 1 GB up to 100 GB, giving customers a broad spectrum of duration and consumption choices.
