eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for Zambia

eSIMCard does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Zambia. The plans that use “Unlimited” in their names are capped at 1 GB per day (or 1 GB total for one‑day offers) and after that the data speed is reduced to 500 kbps or 2000 kbps.

Travelers who need large data allowances without speed throttling can choose from the fixed‑data plans: a 20 GB plan for 30 days costs $134.70 USD, a 10 GB plan costs $75.16 USD, and a 5 GB plan costs $41.13 USD, among other options. These plans may be more cost‑effective if heavy data usage is expected.

eSIMCard does not provide a Zambia eSIM plan that supplies a local phone number or the ability to send or receive SMS. Only data‑only eSIMs are available for the country. Travelers can still use VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for voice and text communication.

eSIMCard currently offers 18 single-country data plans specifically for Zambia. Additionally, they provide 11 multi-country plans that include Zambia as part of their coverage. These plans range in price from $9.54 to $439.51 and offer data allowances between 1GB and 20GB. eSIMCard provides both fixed data plans, offering a set amount of data for the plan’s duration, and daily data cap plans, which provide a certain amount of data each day. Some plans may also include features like tethering, or reduced speeds after a certain data usage threshold, such as 500MB or 2000MB.
