Just worked

Used a 30 day 20GB Nomad esim in China, mainly to ensure we had Alipay always available & to keep in contact with home on WeChat. Also used it where possible as a hotspot for usual Googling etc. Note - it was not always possible to hotspot as this depends on the local provider. After 30 days we had used les than 3GB. The esim did also usually give full access to Western sites without a VPN which is a bonus. Overall, great.

Saved a lot using this app and eSIM data package while traveling abroad

My local mobile provider charges 16$CA per day whenever I use cellular or mobile (voice or text message) data, even for one second, in any given travel day. Nomad offers multi-country eSIM data packages for various durations and data content. It turns out to be way more flexible and affordable than using my local provider.

Absolutely fantastic.

Worked well for a great price and was reliable. I got the ~$ 20 dollar plan that gave me 10 gigabytes for the month (I was in the US for a week.) It was quick and easy to get set up and going, and with that I was able to keep in contact with family and friends easily - and not be bored out of my mind.

The best ESIM App

One of the best Esims apps out there I have traveled to 30+ countries and all of them have worked great with the Nomad ESIM app. I definitely recommend 10/10 customer service and support. And very easy to use! Thank you.
