Connecting Humanity

Was able to send an esim to Gaza via @connectinghumanity on instagram/ Gaza esims. Mutual aid against the communications blackout! So thankful to have been able to take this small vital action.

Easy to use

Very easy to use. Got good service in the southern US. Only issue is you don't know how many GBs you've used so you can't tell when you've used up your data.

Look forward to using again

Purchased to use in New Zealand and being unable to buy an esim in a spark shop without id. Very happy as the coverage was much better than another esim provider I purchased and avoided a £6 per day network cost from Vodafone. Look forward to using on future trips.

Used it to travel in Asia

Used it to travel in Asia, worked out great in South Korea, China and Hong Kong with little issues. It was convenient, as we did not have to hunt for a sim card store, or worry about switching out the cards or losing them.

Great customer service

I purchased a new eSIM by mistake instead of adding data to the eSIM I already had. The customer service team were super helpful, responded quickly & organised in less than 48 hours. Super happy with the eSIM and support.

Fast easy and reasonably priced!

Very easy and fast! Can do it in the airport a few minutes before takeoff and have it ready for when you land.

Worked all over SE Asia 5

I was hesitant to try Nomad on a three week trip given some negative reviews but it worked seamlessly for using different cell providers in 6 countries or regions : Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, and Taiwan. At every stop the service worked without a hitch, never needed to reboot or wonder what went wrong.

Really useful for multi-country trip.

Really useful for multi-country trip. Great to be able to specify a region rather than just a country for the eSIM. Recently travelled to Australia, Indonesia and Singapore. eSIM worked flawlessly and the 20GB package was great value. In addition being able to tether other devices was exceptionally useful and worked well. Based on my own experience I would highly recommend

Excellent App

Upon arriving in Barcelona, Spain I started my Nomad connection. No hiccups, just plain access to my text, WhatsApp… etc. One little problem created by a conflict between my expired purchase and the new SIM, I contacted the help support and… the team could not be more professional, dedicated, knowledgeable. The communication was excellent and prompt. I recommend NOMAD with the certainty that it will make your life easier.

Fantastic flexibility and savings

After getting stung in Turkey for £60 roaming fees I decided to liok for alternatives and found Nomad. I have just tried them on my trip to Uzbekistan and they were fantastic, a couple of minutes to set up, no physical SIM to swap and have to look after your original and dirt cheap. Definitely one to keep and use again.

Easy to use and affordable roaming

Having worked in the telecom world most of my life and understanding what hassle it was to either buy foreign sims or alternatively buy expensive roaming packages I am very pleased to see Nomad. My wife and I used Nomad on our trip to Spain and it worked perfectly. ESim is the future.

The Esim worked great.

The Esim worked great. Easy installation and connected as soon as we crossed the borders. Great affordable option for short term travel. I would recommend and use again.

Amazing!

I never review apps but Nomad is such a life, money, time saver. As a frequent traveler it’s hard to find SIM cards in some airports. I use nomad like 3-4 times a month on my trips!
