nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Africa

nextSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM plan for South Africa. All plans with “Unlimited” in the name have a data cap, ranging from 1 GB to 2 GB, and once the cap is reached the speed is throttled to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps. For travelers who want high‑speed data without a hard limit, the fixed‑data options are the alternative. Plans such as the eSIM South Africa 100GB 30Days Standard or the eSIM South Africa 50GB 30Days Standard offer larger data allowances and may be 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 offers 40 single‑country data plans for South Africa and 45 multi‑country plans that include South Africa. The plans span a price range from about $4.24 to $1, 316.18 and data capacities from 1 GB to 100 GB. In addition to the standard fixed‑data‑cap plans, which provide a set amount of data for the entire validity period, nextSIM also offers 28 daily‑data‑cap plans that limit the amount of data that can be used each day, allowing travelers to manage traffic on a daily basis.
