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.

Works great, easy to install & use.

Works great, easy to install & use. Used esim package for Italily-France-Germany, used it on Corsica & Dolomites, works well. Purchased additional topup, no problem at all.
