Nomad esims perfect for always having data when you travel

Nomad is a great option for having as much data as you need anywhere in the world. I've used Nomad esims for France, UK, APAC, Thailand, India, EU and most recently, Cambodia. Easy to install and never had a problem connecting to local networks. Highly recommended as a way to always have data while traveling.

Worked well each time!

I've used Nomad to purchase a data eSIM for multiple countries and it's worked well each time. Activation is fairly simple, and the sim is ready when you are. You can track your data usage in the app and you aren't tricked into another billing cycle like some other companies have done in the past

Only eSim that works for me

I’ve tried other eSims, two other companies, and they never worked, this is the only one that worked for me and another friend who also tried the same two companies, and they didn’t work for her either. It was a huge waste of money and time. I only use Nomad now.

Nexo Sports

My first ESIM

It’s an amazing eSIM experience. I travel a lot and always use to buy local sims and always was afraid not to have data where I landed! Now the whole world is on my tips! Always connected!
