nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Zambia

nextSIM does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for Zambia. All plans branded as “Unlimited” actually offer a capped amount of high‑speed data—either 1GB or 2GB per day—after which the speed is reduced to 512kbps or 2000kbps. Because the data is limited in this way, the plans do not give continuous high‑speed internet without boundaries.

If an unrestricted data amount is required, nextSIM offers fixed data plans instead. For example, the eSIM 20GB 30 Days Zambia plan provides 20GB of high‑speed data for 30 days at $133.37 USD, and the eSIM GLOBAL 30GB 30 Days Premium plan gives 30GB for 30 days at $767.88 USD. These options are often more cost‑effective for travelers who need larger data allowances without the speed throttling that applies to the “Unlimited” plans.

nextSIM does not provide Zambia eSIM plans that include a local phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIMs are sold for Zambia. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection for voice and messaging needs.

NextSIM lists 23 single‑country plans available for Zambia and 41 multi‑country options that include Zambia. The plans provided span a price range from roughly $5.80 to $1, 280 and offer data amounts between 1 GB and 50 GB over validity periods of 1 to 30 days. Some of the plans are fixed‑data, giving a set amount for the entire period, while others use a daily data cap, allocating a specific amount of data for each day of the plan's validity.
