nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Zambia

nextSIM does not provide a data‑unlimited eSIM plan for Zambia. All plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name actually give a fixed amount of high‑speed data—such as 1GB or 2GB per day—with the speed reduced to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps once that allowance is reached. If a traveler needs more data without speed throttling, nextSIM offers fixed‑data plans, such as the 10GB 30‑day option for $57.34 USD or the larger 50GB 30‑day plan for $1,287.28 USD. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective unless the user is a very heavy data consumer.

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 16 single‑country plans for Zambia and 30 multi‑country plans that include Zambia. Prices run from roughly $5.85 to $1,287.28, while data caps range between 1 GB and 50 GB, with validity periods from 1 day to 30 days. The service includes both daily data‑cap options (17 plans) and fixed data‑cap options (29 plans), the latter providing a set amount of data for the entire validity period.
