nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Zambia

There are no truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM plans from nextSIM for Zambia. The product line labelled “Unlimited” actually provides a limited data allowance, such as 1 GB or 2 GB per day, after which the speed is throttled to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps respectively. For travelers who need more data without a restrictive daily limit, nextSIM offers large fixed‑data plans. Examples include the eSIM GLOBAL 50GB 30Days Premium for 50 GB, the 40‑GB and 30‑GB 30‑day Premium plans, and a 20 GB 30‑day plan. These options give you a substantial amount of high‑speed data for a full month in Zambia.

nextSIM does not offer Zambia eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS functionality; only data‑only eSIMs are available for this destination. This means that voice and SMS services are not included with nextSIM’s Zambia plans.

Travelers can still use VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage over the data connection on the eSIM for calls and messaging, since these apps do not rely on a traditional phone number or SMS capability.

NextSIM lists 20 single‑country plans and 35 multi‑country plans that include Zambia, allowing travellers to choose either a Zambia‑only plan or a regional package that covers Zambia as part of a broader itinerary. The plans are offered mainly in two formats: fixed‑data packages that give a set amount of data for a set period, and daily data‑cap packages that limit usage to a certain amount each day. Across all Zambia‑available plans, prices range from about $5.83 to $1 282.64, data caps vary from 1 GB to 50 GB, and validity periods extend from 1 to 30 days.
