nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Zambia

nextSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Zambia. Plans that carry the “Unlimited” label in their names actually offer a fixed high‑speed data allowance—either 1 GB or 2 GB, either total or per day—and once that limit is reached the speed drops to 512 kbps or 2 Mbps. Because of that data cap and reduced speed, the plans are not unlimited in the sense of unrestricted high‑speed data.

Travelers who need more data can opt for nextSIM’s fixed‑data plans instead. For instance, the eSIM 20GB 30 Days Zambia plan gives 20 GB over 30 days for $133.76 USD, and the eSIM GLOBAL 50GB 30Days Premium plan supplies 50 GB for 30 days at $1, 283.31 USD, both covering Zambia. These options avoid the speed throttling that applies to the “Unlimited” plans and can be more cost‑effective unless a user requires extremely heavy data usage.

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 offers 23 single‑country data plans that are available for Zambia and 41 multi‑country data plans that include Zambia. Across these plans, prices range from about $5.83 to $1, 283.31, data caps span from 1 GB to 50 GB, and validity periods go from 1 day up to 30 days. The single‑country options give you a dedicated Zambia‑only package, while the multi‑country plans allow you to use the same data on several African destinations, often with a daily data‑cap feature.
