Great value

This was the first time I've used esim on my new phone. What is great about Nomad is the price-value ratio, the signal coverage and strength. What was most troublesome for me was the setting process - though all the essential steps were easy and intuitive I couldn't get it work until I read the email with instructions again (and carefully) and found out I had to manually change the APN settings. Next time it'll be a piece of cake.

Nomad has been a big help

Nomad has been a big help with our travels. Being able to remain connected is important, especially while traveling. The technical assistance was very helpful as well.

Reliable and cheap

First time using an e-sim, and all i can say is that it's worth every penny. Have used it in Germany and Netherlands and i had 0 issues so far.

Fast set up. Easy to use.

Fast set up. Easy to use. Went to Italy for a conference recently and decided to give this esim service a try. It worked flawlessly. Just remember to activate your plan on the app before you leave for your trip. You can have the esim off in your phone settings and turn it on once you've arrived at your destination.

Super convenient!

Needed data for UK & France for a 2 week trip. The packages were very affordable compared to buying from my main provider and the data worked flawlessly. I was even able to pick which network I preferred in each country (using some advanced iPhone settings). Will definitely be using for my next trip!

Worked perfectly

Worked perfectly when I roamed to the USA. On entering Canada everything stopped working but a quick email to nomad support quickly fixed things so everything worked there too.

Won't travel without Nomad

From the time I landed in Italy, Nomad was amazing! The instructions on installing and setting up were flawless and customer service answered any questions I had before flying out of the US. I was worried having never used an eSIM before but within minutes of landing knew I would be just fine!! Thank you Nomad for an amazing service that kept me in touch with family in the states while I traveled to Europe for the first time! I will never use another as long as Nomad has coverage for the area!

Lifesaver

I took an International plan (28 days from Jio). Within 2 days, it ran out and started selling me overpriced plans. I switched to Nomad and the on-boarding experience was smooth- it was over before I knew it. I traveled through Spsin and Portugal and never had any issues with bandwidth or lack of service. Highly recommended. The configuration I would use in future: Jio for inbound SMS ONLY. And Nomad for data especially Google Maps, WhatsApp for calls. Of course, YouTube using WiFi at airports and hotel.

The best eSIM brand

Works well in New Zealand both north and south island and in mainland China. It supports data sharing via hotspot to other devices. Coverage is decent and works in many places airalo doesn't. easy to top up from overseas unlike many other brands.

It worked flawlessly

I downloaded Nomad eSim for my 10 day trip to London, Paris, Brussels, and Antwerp. It worked flawlessly, and I had mostly 5G combed throughout my travels. It was most helpful using Translation and Navigation, as well as anytime I needed to figure out the public transit systems.
