nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Zambia

The nextSIM eSIM plans marketed with “Unlimited” for Zambia are not truly unlimited. Each of those plans includes a fixed data allowance – for example 1 GB or 2 GB – and once that limit is reached the speed is reduced (to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps).

If you need a larger, uninterrupted data allowance, nextSIM offers fixed‑data eSIMs such as the 20 GB 30 Days Zambia plan and the 50 GB 30 Days Premium plan, which provide a set amount of high‑speed data without post‑threshold throttling.

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 offers a range of data plans for travelers visiting Zambia, available in both single‑country and multi‑country formats. In Zambia specifically, 20 single‑country plans and 32 multi‑country plans are available. Prices for these plans span roughly from $5.78 to $1, 272.63, while data caps range from 1 GB up to 50 GB. Each plan is valid for between 1 and 30 days. Some options provide a daily data‑cap, giving travelers a fixed amount of data per day, while others offer a fixed data cap that allows the entire data allowance to be used over the validity period. This variety gives users the flexibility to choose a plan that aligns with their budget and data needs.
