The other NextLink plans, compared
| Destination | NextLink plan | Price | Closest plan from another brand | Price |

In Singapore the NextLink plan exits in Singapore, while the own-label plan exits in Indonesia. For Lebanon, NextLink is the only brand in our catalogue with a plan for that country alone, from 1 GB for 7 days at $9.75.
What to know before you buy a NextLink eSIM
- It starts on first data use. You can install it at home, and the validity period begins when the eSIM first uses data. See when an eSIM starts counting.
- Activate it within two months. Every NextLink plan page says the eSIM expires if it is not activated within two months of purchase.
- You top up the same eSIM. All 57 plans support top-up, so running out of data does not mean installing a new eSIM. Our top-up audit covers which plans can and cannot be topped up.
- The exit location depends on the plan. USA, Americas and Mexico and USA plans exit in the USA. Europe, Turkey, UAE, Egypt and the other Middle East and Africa plans exit in Western Europe. Australia and New Zealand, Singapore and China exit in Singapore. The India plan pages do not publish one.
- Two coverage exceptions. The USA plans do not work in Alaska, and the Europe plans do not include Switzerland.
- Check the brand in the plan title. Some of our pages have “nextlink” in the web address although the plan is now sold under our own Codeesim label, for example the larger Turkey plans. The title on the page shows the current brand and terms.
When another plan is the better buy
- Europe with Switzerland. 10 GB for 30 days on our eSIMGo Europe plan costs $7.54, and the plan includes Switzerland.
- Alaska. NextLink’s USA plans do not work there. Check the networks and notes on the other plans on our USA eSIM page before buying for Alaska.
- Unlimited data. None of the 57 NextLink plans is unlimited. For the USA, see unlimited USA eSIM prices.
- A phone number. NextLink plans are data-only. See USA eSIMs with a phone number.
- A destination NextLink does not sell. Sparks covers 39 destinations and regions; see Sparks eSIM plans and prices.

Is NextLink eSIM any good?
We can only report what the listings state: every NextLink plan we sell lists no speed cap, hotspot and top-up support, and names its network in each country. We have not run speed tests. Our refund policy covers eSIMs that were never installed, within 14 days of purchase, less a $3 processing fee.
When does a NextLink eSIM start, and can I top it up?
Every NextLink plan we sell starts on first data use, so you can install it before you travel. The plan pages say it expires if not activated within two months of purchase. All 57 plans support top-up: you add data to the same eSIM after it is active.
What IP address does a NextLink eSIM use?
It depends on the plan. Of the 57 NextLink plans in our catalogue, 32 list Western Europe as the IP routing location, 15 list the USA and 6 list Singapore. The four India plans do not publish one. The USA plans are the ones that exit in the USA.
NextLink or Sparks: which should I buy?
For the USA, NextLink: 15 GB costs $11.50 on T-Mobile with a US exit, and Sparks sells only 2 GB and 7 GB USA plans that exit in the UK. For Europe with Switzerland, Sparks. Sparks also covers more destinations and has plans valid for a year.
NextLink is strongest in the USA, where it is the cheapest plan we sell at 5 and 20 GB, and it is a reasonable Europe choice if you do not need Switzerland. Whichever plan you pick, read its exit location and the two coverage exceptions before you buy.
