Nomad’s eSIM solutions eliminate one source of stress from your vacation planning.

      If you're planning to travel, you’ve likely remembered to verify your passport, exchange your currency, and acquire a regional power adapter. However, one easily forgotten detail is arranging for a SIM card or plan that allows you to access data while abroad. Fortunately, eSIMs simplify the process of obtaining those data bundles at the last minute or preparing in advance with just a few straightforward steps.

      eSIMs are not physical cards that you insert into your smartphone; instead, they are digital and can be downloaded onto your device with a simple tap. One of the leading eSIM providers is Nomad, known for offering user-friendly and reasonably priced data packages for travelers.

      Nomad provides valuable options along with significant flexibility for vacationers, business travelers, and digital nomads alike, with a variety of deals that make it easier to acquire data packages of different sizes at a competitive price.

      For instance, Nomad offers an introductory deal where all new users can claim a free trial lasting three days. This allows you to use 1GB of data each day, giving you an opportunity to experience the functionality of Nomad’s eSIMs. You can find more information on Nomad's Trial eSIM page.

      Additionally, Nomad provides all users with a considerable discount, allowing you to save 25% on a standard eSIM plan. This includes SIMs ranging from 1GB to 30GB, as well as unlimited plans and options for both regional and global use. Simply visit Nomad's website to explore the various supported travel destinations.

      In total, they cover over 200 countries, with prices varying slightly based on your location. Alternatively, you can opt for multi-country regional eSIMs like those for Europe or the Caribbean if you're visiting multiple nations, or choose from several global eSIMs that provide coverage across significant parts of the world.

      Why choose an eSIM?

      eSIM plans are ideal for anyone who frequently crosses borders, whether for travel, business, or vacations. Nomad enhances the experience with various advantages. For example, you can purchase bulk data ahead of time if you plan multiple trips to the same destination, and Nomad allows you to hold off on activating the eSIM for up to a year.

      Nomad also offers options for families, tour groups, or friends traveling together. The company allows you to buy large data bundles and distribute them into separate eSIMs; for instance, you could get a 50GB plan and share it among a larger group so everyone has sufficient data for browsing the web or checking recommendations while overseas.

      While the idea of a virtual SIM may seem daunting, Nomad has streamlined the setup process, enabling you to activate your eSIM within minutes, making it convenient even if you’re a bit last-minute.

      To use an eSIM, it's important to ensure that your smartphone is compatible. Fortunately, Nomad provides an official list to help you determine if an eSIM will work for your device.
