Zambia eSIM Data Speed
Your data breaks out in Singapore, around 8,440 km from Zambia, adding roughly 84 ms of travel time. Browsing, maps, messaging and streaming are unaffected, though video calls and online gaming may feel slightly delayed. In return, this is the lowest price we can offer for Zambia.

About eSIMs in Zambia
A Zambia eSIM gives you mobile data for your trip without relying on a physical SIM. Plans are available for short visits and stays of up to 30 days, with both fixed-data and unlimited options.
Coverage & networks
The eSIM connects to Airtel’s 4G network in Zambia. It is a data-only service, so traditional calls and text messages are not included.
How much data you need
Choose from 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB or 20GB of data, or select an unlimited plan. Short trips may suit the smaller options, while 10GB or 20GB can be useful if you expect to use maps, messaging, browsing and social media regularly. Top-ups are supported if you need more data during your trip.
Setting it up
Select the data allowance and duration that match your plans, then follow the installation and activation instructions provided with your eSIM. Available durations are 1, 3, 5, 7, 15 and 30 days.
