nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

NextSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. The plans listed as “Unlimited” actually have a fixed high‑speed data allowance and then drop to a reduced speed after the limit is reached (for example, 1GB for a day or 2GB per day for several days).

Travelers who need large but not unlimited data can choose from nextSIM’s fixed plans, such as the 100GB 30 days South Africa plan for $155.23 USD and the 50GB 30 days South Africa plan for $87.76 USD. These plans offer a generous high‑speed data cap for the specified validity period and are usually more cost‑effective for moderate to heavy data use.

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 37 single‑country data plans for South Africa and 45 multi‑country plans that include South Africa in their coverage, offering a wide variety of data options from 1 GB to 100 GB and prices ranging from about $4.20 to $1, 279.81. The single‑country selections contain both fixed‑data‑cap plans, where the total data is set for the validity period, and daily‑data‑cap plans, which limit usage on a per‑day basis; the multi‑country catalogue follows a similar structure.
