Skratch eSIM Data Plans for Zambia

Skratch does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Zambia. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name actually give 2 GB per day for a fixed number of days and reduce speed to 1000 kbps after that daily allowance is used. For travelers who need more data without a daily cap, Skratch offers fixed‑data plans such as the 20 GB 30‑day plan for $78.99 USD or the 10 GB 30‑day plan for $43.99 USD, which provide a larger single data allowance and no daily throttling. These fixed‑data options can be more cost‑effective for most users unless they require a very high daily data volume.

Skratch does not offer an eSIM plan with a local phone number or SMS capability for Zambia. Travelers who purchase a Skratch eSIM for Zambia will receive only a data‑only connection. For voice and messaging, users can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data link, though some destinations may block or restrict access to specific services, so it is advisable to confirm that the apps needed are reachable in Zambia before purchasing.

Skratch provides 11 single‑country plans and 3 multi‑country plans for Zambia. Prices for these plans span from roughly $7.99 to $419.70 and data caps range between 1 GB and 20 GB, with validity periods from 3 to 30 days. Some plans offer a fixed data cap that applies for the entire validity period, whereas others use a daily data cap that resets each day.
