Nomad

Nomad, packshot

Idéal pour : D’après les retours Reddit, idéal pour les voyageurs en Europe ou en Asie qui privilégient un forfait de données à volume défini pour les cartes et la messagerie.

En bref : Les utilisateurs Reddit apprécient surtout la simplicité d’installation et le rapport qualité-prix de Nomad, avec de nombreux séjours réussis en Europe et en Asie. Les principales réserves concernent les débits très réduits après le quota quotidien de certains forfaits illimités, ainsi que des pannes dont la résolution par le support reste inégale.

    r/eSIMs · Will eSIM solve my coverage issue?

    You won’t be able to receive calls or SMS on your original number if the mast for that network is down — those still rely on your main carrier’s signal. Getting an eSIM from another provider (like EE or Lycamobile) will fix your data and app-based communication though. What many people do in this situation is keep their original SIM active (so it’ll work again once the mast is fixed) and add a secondary eSIM for data and calling through apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or even Wi-Fi calling if your primary carrier supports it. If you just need reliable mobile data while your local mast is down, a global eSIM like Superalink or Nomad can also help — they automatically latch onto whichever local network is strongest, and it’s instant to set up. That way, you stay connected without switching your main number.

    r/eSIMs · Best eSIM for Affordable Multi-Country Travel in Europe?

    I did almost the same route this summer — France → Italy → Germany → Spain — and totally get what you mean about coverage changing at every border. I tested a few eSIMs because I wanted to see which ones actually roam smoothly. Airalo worked fine but slowed down noticeably once I crossed into Italy. Nomad was okay for speed but had weird handoff delays between carriers. The one that surprised me most was Superalink — I bought their “Europe unlimited” plan mostly out of curiosity, and it kept a really stable connection across all four countries. It switches between local partners (Orange, Vodafone, O2, etc.) without needing a manual refresh. I used it for about two weeks, hotspotting my laptop a few times a day, and the speeds stayed pretty consistent (usually 50–80 Mbps in cities, 20–30 in smaller towns). The activation process was dead simple — scanned the QR code while still in London, and data came up right after landing in Paris. If you don’t need a phone number and just want data that “just works” across borders, it’s honestly one of the smoother options I’ve used.

    r/eSIMs · Catch-22 with eSIM activation?

    I have never run into this and have used multiple providers (including Airalo, Nomad, Always-mobile, etc.) Once the esim is installed, all it has to do is connect to an available network to operate. This does require purchasing the service before leaving. It is then ready to go. Once the plane lands, turn it on and wait for it to start. May be a little slow the first time because there is some handshaking going on and checking that it is valid. Note: if you are traveling from somewhere that is a covered location by the esim provider, be sure to turn the esim off as soon as installed so it doesn't activate too early.

    r/eSIMs · Should I use a VPN or eSIM in China

    You should use both. eSIM for your phone internet and VPN on regular internet. Only having VPN can get blocked and only having eSIM can be expensive. Although if it's only a week, then a larger data eSIM plan should be fine. I used Nomad eSIM and Mullvad VPN the last time I was in China. Mullvad connects consistently but can be slow on some servers. Nomad eSIM routed through Hong Kong so I could access most of the sites I needed. For eSIM there are many options so check the other Reddit posts for suggestions.

    r/eSIMs · Is it better to just buy three local SIMs?

    Local SIM cards are always a good choice. Travel Esim gives you more convenience as you have data the moment you land in a foreign country and you do not need to spend time getting a local SIM card. For Thailand, you can get Dtac happy tourist Esim directly from Dtac or resellers like Airalo or Nomad, but a local one will be even cheaper. If you need data once you land, might consider Roamless until you get a local Esim. With Roamless you only pay for data used and no need to prepay for a certain time and data amount. That way you can still stay connected until you get a local n SIM card. Safe travels!

Firsty had me excited when I first discovered it almost a year ago, but lately they have been mainly disappointing me.

    r/eSIMs · How to choose the best eSIM providers?

    I used to buy Esims at airports or when I would get into a city, but it always took some time from an hour to one time almost the whole day. I was introduced to my first travel Esim from Airalo, but it only had Esim for one of the countries as the other one was sold out. Further research on Reddit and other sites introduced me to Nomad. Both Airalo Esim and nomad Esim worked great for that trip. Lately, there are dozens of travel Esim providers, but not all very reliable or have good customer service. So search around here to see what works for you. For me, the convenience of the travel Esim and reliable service is a must (5g speeds aren't important for me, 4G or LTE if 6 fine for most of the people). Also, with most travel Esims you have to prepay for a certain amount of data that will expire at some time and I had noticed, that most of the time I would not even use 50% of what I paid for. That means I was overpaying. Lately, I discovered providers like BNE, Roamless and Unisim. You only pay for data used and your funds deposited never expire. I would just use the data as needed and even though the price per GB is frequently more expensive, I am actually saving money as only pay for what I need. Wow, I was just going to post a one sentence post 😂

    Why wouldn't it be possible? Pixel 6 is Esim compatible. As long as it's unlocked, you should be able to install an Esim from many travel Esim providers like Airalo, Firsty, Roamless, Nomad and Red Bull Mobile. Will you have 4G or 5G coverage, that I can't tell. But for me 4G speeds are more than enough to do what I need to do.

Otherwise, for longer trips I just get what's the best for my needs. I mainly would use Airalo or Nomad.

For EU, you have plenty of options but I like the Airalo Czech Republic O2 Esim that works in the EU, UK and Ireland. Look into different packages, but as a backup I would get Roamless or Esim.sm Esim where you can just pay for data as you use it and no need to estimate your data usage.

    r/eSIMs · Tested Airalo, Nomad and Yoho during my Japan + Thailand trip,  honest speed results

    Travel eSIMs mostly roam on the destination network. You get a SIM from one network provider and roam with that in the destination country (e.g. Japan). Let's say your travel eSIM is issued by a Singapore-based network and you roam with it in your destination country (e.g. Japan). Your traffic will go like this: **Your phone --> Japanese network --> Singapore --> website/server location** and then reverse that for the response back to your phone. This can 'rob' speed and latency. Also in this specific case, Airalo is 4G only in Japan. 50 Mbps is about average for 4G networks. (their 5G speeds there average around 150Mbps, data taken from newest OpenSignal report). The network speed itself is also influenced by how much bandwidth the networks can use/own (e.g. US networks usually own/receive more bandwidth than European/Japanese operators) With all that being said, all the mentioned speeds were far away from being slow or unusable (not really fast either, just regular). You can stream 4K video at around 25Mbps+.

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    "Strength" could also mean the connection quality of the routing it uses to get to Hong Kong which may be different depending on where in China you are. However, I'd expect you to get 0.5-0.8Mbps, not abysmally low 30kbps. How fast is your full speed data?

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    "or on the transit path", e.g. congestion which I would put in the routing issue category. I don't think you are wrong. Read my original comment, I said that I think that 30kbps is too low for it to be only a routing issue. But let's just end it with: We agree that the slow speeds were either due to harsher throttling than advertised or due to bad routing/transit but probably a mix of both. The experience you had doesn't match what you would expect and deserves to be called out.

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    Because the issue is not the throttling. They set it up correctly at their end. The issue is the routing and the speed/latency quality loss that comes along with it. Your China Unicom SIM works like this: phone --> China Unicom network --> website Your Nomad SIM works like this: phone --> China Unicom network --> Nomad SIM supplier (further away in Hong Kong/Singapore/etc) --> website. It has an extra step and everything needs to be routed to servers outside of China. Your Nomad eSIM is unlocked for full data speeds for 2GB/day. Meaning you should get/are unlocked for 250-350Mbps (which you found out was possible on the network by testing with the Unicom SIM). Still, only 35Mbps arrive with Nomad. If you now lock the Nomad SIM at max. 1Mbps at the supplier level (in Hong Kong/Singapore), you can see how it is likely that the full 1Mbps will not survive the routing. Your observations for throttling would be completely correct if you had simple/less routing like the China Unicom SIM. But there you don't have the loss of routing to HK/SG there which takes away speed. Am I a fan of it? No. I would also be mad if 1Mbps are advertised and I got useless speeds instead. But that is the most likely technical explanation of why your speeds on Nomad (both throttled and unthrottled) are that slow compared to what the network could achieve.

    AsieIllimité
    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    Think of it like this: - They want to give you "full speed" (which you confirmed to be around 250Mbps) but only deliver 35Mbps (the rest gets lost somewhere, probably in routing). Meaning only <10% of their set full speed actually arrive. - They want to give you 1Mbps but only deliver around 30Kbps, meaning a similarily low percentage of the intended set speed reaches your phone. Basically as I see it, they want to give you the amount but it gets lost on the way to you. Which speedtest di you use?

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    If their full speed is 35Mbps vs the possible 300 on the Unicom SIM (probably because of routing) then I am not surprised that the theoretical 1Mbps is much slower.. I know that's not what you wanted to hear

    r/eSIMs · Thoughts on Yesim international eSIM? It comes out to CAD$ 4.80/GB. I need to guarantee reliable connectivity at destination for tech unsavvy seniors.

    Okay so basically, you need to differentiate between two types of **Global** plans. **1. Global fixed-GB, fixed time eSIM, fully prepaid.** This one can be bought at many providers ( e.g. [https://www.getnomad.app/en/global-eSIM](https://www.getnomad.app/en/global-eSIM) or [https://www.airalo.com/global-esim](https://www.airalo.com/global-esim) or [https://www.jetpacglobal.com/product-details/global-esim](https://www.jetpacglobal.com/product-details/global-esim) and also Yesim's regular Global plan [https://yesim.app/global/global-package-esim/](https://yesim.app/global/global-package-esim/) ). You prepay the amount in full. Using Nomad as an example, you pay $36 USD for 5GB for 30 days. This is not only very expensive but also, after these 30 days from activation, your data will expire even if you didn't use all of it. *(This is also how 1 country or regional plans work)* 2. **Global pay-as-you-go eSIM, unlimited validity, prepaid balance that only gets used when data is actually consumed.** This is the second type of eSIM that not many providers offer ( e.g. [https://roamless.com](https://roamless.com) (pay-as-you go a.k.a. "flex"), [https://esim.sm/global-esim](https://esim.sm/global-esim) (Global esim only) and apparently also Yesim's "international" plan [https://yesim.app/international-esim/](https://yesim.app/international-esim/) ). Here you load up your balance and it deducts according to your usage. If the price is $2.50 USD per GB data in the USA and you use 500MB of data there, $1.25 USD will be deducted from your balance. If you do not use your balance in one trip, you can use it for your next trip because it has unlimited validity/no expiry (at least Roamless and [esim.sm](http://esim.sm), don't know about Yesim's international eSIM).

    Yes that's definitely a very good option since AIS is a local carrier in Thailand: https://www.ais.th/en/consumers/package/international/tourist-plan true/dtac (also local carriers) have a similar very good deal: https://www.true.th/en/prepaid/sim/tourist The true/dtac plan can also be bought from Airalo (https://www.airalo.com/thailand-esim under data / calls / texts option) and Nomad (https://www.getnomad.app/en/thailand-eSIM) == As for using the AIS plan for other countries, I am not sure. It says under terms and conditions (e.g. here https://www.ais.th/esim-traveller/#/mealdetail?areaId=68) "for Thai user only". == TLDR; For usage in Thailand itself you can definitely go with AIS or true/dtac directly (or resold plans via Airalo/Nomad). For other countries, it seems like it's for Thai users only, so would not do that. Also, if you go with AIS/true/dtac, only install the esim when arriving in Thailand on Wifi to avoid issues.

    iRoamly offers an "unlimited" plan where the support told me the speed is "unlimited with average speed of 10-20Mbps". When I tested it in reality, I got 1GB of full speed per day and then 12Mbps after. MicroEsim also offers an unlimited plan that says the same thing ("unlimited with average speed of 10-20Mbps") so I assume it's the same thing (but a little cheaper). 12Mbps is a usable speed but it will obviously be slower if many people are connected to it.

    r/eSIMs · looking for a esim app (from australia to greece)

    Hello! I recommend getting a fixed GB amount instead of anything "unlimited". For European plans you have many options, including (price low to high): EscapeSIM (Aussie company), Jetpac, MobiMatter (Sparks plans), Nomad, RedteaGO, esim.sm, BNEsim, Saily, Airalo. However, I would advise you to only buy the esim as few days before you leave since many have activation deadlines (sometimes only 30 days).

So having a VPN if you encounter issues would be handy. Some of these MIGHT not route via Hong Kong (Jetpac, Mobimatter, Nomad) but I am not sure about that (also they are the most expensive). You can also get a global PAYG eSIM like Roamless (routes via Singapore) or esim.sm (via Poland), so no restrictions. You pay per GB used with each country having a per GB set price. Will definitely be more expensive though and would not recommend if you are a heavy data user.

    For a short trip like that, I’d just grab an eSIM from Airalo or Nomad for data and keep his existing number on WhatsApp / Signal for “calls” back home. They both piggyback on big US networks and work fine in stadium crowds, just pick a plan that explicitly uses AT&T or T‑Mobile. If he really needs actual voice minutes, T‑Mobile prepaid tourist style plans or an AT&T prepaid eSIM from something like US Mobile / Mint can work, but for one week data‑only + WiFi calling apps is usually way cheaper and way less hassle.

    If you reduce your requirements I’m sure you’ll find something that works. Sounds like you’re good for phones just not for travel router? I think a prepaid plan is best for the router if you don’t stress over unused data. Nomad offers 50GB of US data for $25 ($0.50GB), that’s more than 60% less than the price of most PAYG eSIM providers. PAYG is usually best for low data usage (with some exceptions) and prepaid is better for bulk data.

    r/eSIMs · Anyone use airalo and been stitched up?

    Are any of the “top” providers? On recent trips for myself and what I’ve setup for friends I’ve used Airalo, Alo, BNE, Gigsky (for cruises), Roamless, Saily & Tello (not a travel eSIM by great choice for the US if you want a phone number). I’ve used Nomad and it’s good too, but it’s just more of the same and since I don’t have any credit with them I don’t see a benefit over Alo or Airalo. I’d also use JetPac and Sparks if I was going to the EU. One of my considerations is that I manage eSIMs for family and friends. Airalo, Alo, Nomad have very clean UIs and they make it easy to manage and retire old eSIMs. The problem with JetPac and Roamless is that I can’t purchase multiple eSIMs. I like BNE and their non-expiring data and good deals - but when I was in the US their exit node was in EU and it had higher latency than the rest - but it’s fine for kids that are just happy to have data :) Saily is good service, has a US exit node and I just moved my dad over to them from Airalo. For some reason he’d always lose signal on Airalo until he started actively using his phone, this doesn’t happen with Saily - but Saily has a really weird UI where they don’t let you delete or archive old eSIMs so I’ve got a bunch of eSIMs on my account that I don’t use. It does seem you can *reuse* them if the app notices they’ve been uninstalled, but I have one eSIMs that was removed that still shows as install so it’s kinda annoying. Another negative with Saily is that eSIMs will automatically be activated within 30 days of purchase. In the end, even a cheap GlobalYo eSIM will work - just at a higher latency and a cringy UI.

Tello is a real US mobile operator and as such it also comes with a phone number - like AT&T and T-Mobile do. Nomad, Airalo, Roamless are travel eSIM providers that just resell roaming data from other major providers. This means they have slower and lower quality of service. Latency from Verizon/TMobile/Tello will be around 15-30ms vs travel eSIM providers which will be in 60-500ms range - with most falling in the 150-350 range. So if the price isn't cheaper and you don't get voice calling, why bother?

Monty and Mobimatter's eSIMGo sell a 50GB plan but the cheaper of the two is US$59. GLOBALYO appears to be a little cheaper but reviews are very mixed around here. If you fly into Dubai airport you can ask for a free Du SIM at the immigration counter (you can convert this to an eSIM at a Du store if you need). It comes with 10GB data for 24 hours only. However prices are still very expensive - you can buy unlimited data for 14 days for AED 299 which is about US$82. Free wifi is very prevelant across Dubai (all the malls etc, metro stations and more). If you use it you should be able to get away with a lot less data.

    r/eSIMs · Catch-22 with eSIM activation?

    I think you are mixing up installation and the plan activation. Most travel eSIMs let you install and initially activate beforehand (which is the bit that requires internet) then only fully activate once they connect to the network. Airalo shouldn't have an issue with this nor should most of the major travel companies like Ubigi, Nomad, Sparks. A few eSIMs, usually the real local ones, will only install and activate once within their home country. Lycamobile is the most common one mentioned here because people often need up with them, but not the only one. If you are super concerned, put a small amount of credit onto a global eSIM like Roamless or eSIM.sm's global eSIM and that will at least get you started if your main eSIM doesn't work on landing for whatever reason.

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    That “fair usage policy” isn’t exclusive to Nomad. Most eSIM providers have a similar policy for their “unlimited” data plans. They usually have a daily high-speed data cap, and once you exceed it, your speed gets throttled to something very slow. That’s why I always buy eSIMs with a fixed amount of data, like 5 GB, 20 GB, or 30 GB. That way all the data you pay for is high-speed until you use it up. In my opinion, buying an “unlimited” eSIM is rarely a good option because it’s not really unlimited high-speed data.

    Illimité
    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    I understand your frustration, but Nomad (or any major eSIM provider) does not guarantee a minimum speed after you’ve used the allotted daily high-speed data on an unlimited eSIM plan. In this case, 1 Mbps is the maximum speed they may provide after the daily cap is reached, but it is not guaranteed. Actual speeds are network-dependent and Nomad explicitly states that they can also vary depending on factors such as network congestion and signal strength. The important thing is to inform others and share our experiences so that users can make an informed decision before purchasing. Personally, I always buy eSIMs with a fixed amount of data rather than “unlimited” plans precisely because I know these plans often come with this kind of limitation.

    r/eSIMs · Anyone try Simbye eSim? Looking for good price on travel eSim for Europe.

    I haven’t used Simbye, so can’t really comment on that one, but I used Nomad eSIM on my recent trip to Albania and it worked quite well for me. I bought the 50GB plan, but for one week I only ended up using around 11GB, so I probably didn’t need that much. Of course, it depends on usage, especially if your kids will be streaming on car rides. For travelling around Europe, I saw that Nomad also has a Europe regional plan, so from what I understand, you can buy one plan and use it across multiple European countries instead of buying separate plans for each stop. Might be worth comparing that with the other options depending on how much data your family usually uses.

    r/eSIMs · El Salvador eSIM

    I’d compare a few providers based on data allowance, plan validity and local network coverage rather than choosing purely on price. Nomad, Airalo and Holafly are all worth checking, especially if you need a larger plan or unlimited data. I’ve been using Nomad eSIM for a while and have found it straightforward. Whichever provider you choose, it’s best to purchase and install the eSIM before you leave, then activate it once you arrive at your destination.

    r/eSIMs · which esim for USA

    For a month in the Midwest, I'd personally look at a few options depending on your budget and how much data you need. * If you want the cheapest option, a local SIM/eSIM from T-Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon will usually give you the best value. * If you want something you can set up before you fly, I've had decent experiences with Nomad esim, Airalo, and Holafly. * If you're planning to drive through more rural areas, I'd lean toward plans that use the AT&T or Verizon networks, as coverage can be noticeably better outside major cities. The Midwest is generally well covered, but if you're going through smaller towns or national parks, network quality matters more than the eSIM brand itself. I'd avoid choosing purely on price. A few extra dollars for a plan with better coverage can save a lot of frustration on a month-long trip.

    I can't speak to Nomad directly but i don't seem to recall any more bad stories about them than other providers. I've used RedTeaGo myself several times now and been happy with it. It was recommended by colleagues in the EU. Some friends and co-workers have now used it as well with no issues to speak of. I am a cautious person so whatever plan you decide to go with have one or two other providers installed on your phone with accounts set up. That way you have options ready to go should your first choice fail for some reason. I had problems with my first eSIM choice and after about 15 minutes of basic trouble shooting installed an RTG eSIM and haven't looked back. Vacations are too short to stress over little things that can be fixed that quick and cheaply.

    Not sure how long your trip is, but... [esim.io](http://esim.io) has a promo for global esim 5GB for 7 days for $1.90. I assume you can purchase multiple if 5GB is not enough. nomad esim has a 3-day 1GB free trial that can be used as a back-up.

    r/travel · What’s the best eSIM provider for traveling in 2026?

    I actual install two eSims now to get better coverage since I end up in the countryside a lot from cycling. When I don’t get a local eSim, I usually get one from Airalo and one from Nomad if I can confirm their networks don’t overlap completely. I’ve had better service from Nomad in Portugal and now in Greece, they are about the same.

    r/eSIMs · First time Nomad user for EU trip and now Turkey?

    You first buy the eSIM for Turkey. Now you have 2 eSIMs. Both are turned off because your primary is on. When you arrive Italy/Switzerland, you turn off your primary and turn on Nomad. Then when you arrive Turkey you turn off Nomad and turn on Turkey eSIM. Btw I was just in Italy and Switzerland in December and used Nomad. Worked well.

    We just used 3 different eSIMs during Christmas and new years in Europe. Airalo. Yesim. Nomad. The word “activate” and “install” are confusing. After you purchase. You “install” the app but it is the word “activate” that is shown on the blue bar. So you’d press “activate” to continue the “install process”. When you are done installing. It does not mean it’s “activated”. At this time you still using your primary sim on the phone. When you arrive destination then you’d “activate” it by toggle off your primary line and toggle on eSIM.

    r/eSIMs · Which eSIM is better for China/ Taiwan/ HK and Macao?

    Get one eSIM for CN/HK/MO and one eSIM for Taiwan. Use CUniq for CN/HK/MO. Note that escapeesim also sells CUniq products. Main reason I recommend this is you’ll get good latency to both HK and also CN services, which is ultra important because CN websites are generally very very slow when being accessed from outside the GFW. Some eSIMs for China will have terrible latency to Chinese services for this reason. If you can find a good CMLink/China Mobile product that covers these three areas you might want to consider that instead. It’ll get tunneled to Singapore instead of HK which increases latency by around 40ms but it’ll still be pretty good. I found CUniq to have some trouble connecting to 5G networks, mostly stuck on LTE in CN (5G in HK and MO) but even in extremely crowded areas near CNY I did not have any issues with LTE. For Taiwan I found Nomad to be pretty good, there’s a discount code on esimdb as well.

    r/eSIMs · Nomad for Japan and china?

    All eSIMs bypass the GFW. As for quality it’s probably fine, but also a bit expensive for what you get. I’d consider RedTeaGo’s China plan combined with https://shop.maaltalk.com/japan-softbank-5g-daily.html instead. Should be better quality than Nomad with more data, and cost about the same amount.

    r/eSIMs · looking for an eSIM for paris/spain

    No problem! I've also tried eSIMs with free trials like Nomad and GigSky and they work fine as long as the server is in the Europe. Eskimo eSIM is based in Singapore so the ping was too high 300+ making it unusable. Roamless was great but also expensive + you don't get a phone number. It's not a one size fits all. A little warning about Orange Travel eSIM. If you purchase a 1GB or 4GB plan with calling, they assign you a Polish number instead of a French one. Their chat support told me that, which was very helpful as I almost bought one just for local calling in France. I started off on an Orange Travel eSIM (Europe 100GB) for $40. When I wanted to top-up the same eSIM, they want $60 otherwise to do that. Or I could purchase a new eSIM with a new number for the "promo" price. That didn't make sense to me so I shopped around and hence ended up on Lebara for now. Hope this helps!

    r/eSIMs · How is Ubigi In Uzbekistan? Or any eSIM works well there?

    It’s more complicated than that and the core doesn’t do all of the things you listed. There are other separate elements to manage eSIM profiles and handle routing of signaling and bearer traffic. Having your own core benefits a travel eSIM company in that they get to manage the users and see the data traffic themselves rather than relying on other mobile operators, but it can add latency. All roaming data traffic is brought back to the home network (in Transatel’s case this is France) so users in Asia may see more latency than with Airalo or Nomad who have termination points in Singapore and Hong Kong through their partnerships.

    Asie
    r/eSIMs · Global vs Regional vs Local plans

    It’s price arbitrage. The global plan has cheap EU and Asian countries so on average across all users they make money. The LatAm plan only has the more expensive countries so they charge more. Only a fool would buy the LatAm plan. And def look at other providers. Airalo is usually the most expensive. Nomad has a LatAm plan for $79 for 20 GB.

    r/eSIMs · What does this mean?

    This is just a check to remind people that their phone needs to be unlocked to use Nomad or other travel eSIM companies. If you bought your phone outright it should be unlocked, but you can check in Settings - General - About - Carrier Lock and it should say No SIM restrictions.

    r/eSIMs · Nomad China - out?

    As update, I've chatted with Nomad customer support twice. So far the problem is not resolved (big surprise). I posted a lengthy post in the Airalo forum about how these ESIM providers actually work. In short, this is a cheap consumer 1x purchase for most, so don't expect great customer service for your $20. Given the ESIM sellers aren't actually a network provider (they buy it from others in EACH country) performance will vary widely. If you're travelling on vacation, I suggest buying the absolutel min and make sure it works ok while you are in that country before putting more $$$ into your account. If Airalo and Nomad are both buying service from reseller 'X' in country 'Y' and the performance is bad on Airalo, well -- it won't be better on Nomad (or any other provider). The telecom world is a true maze of companies you've never heard of and it changes daily, this is complex for the ESIM providers to keep up with. Plus the ESIM providers aren't big $$$ to the telecom operators so don't expect rapid response to anything. A good example is Europe where the EU ruled NO roaming charges. Thus your ESIM provider might buy services from a wholesaler provider in Spain connected to the Telefonica O2 network. If you're in Germany and turn the phone on, it will connect to a local provider who in turns sends all your data back to O2 Spain who in turn sends your data to that wholesale provider who then dumps it in to the Internet in Spain. As you might imagine performance will vary depending on data conditions in (1) the local mobile provider network (2) the connection between the local provider and the serving carrier and (3) the connection between the serving carrier and the wholesale provider and finally (4) the wholesale provider connectivity to the Internet. In short - postings about 'performance' are mostly meaningless as any of the above 4 conditions can impact what you see on your phone. With this complexity, it's a miracle that it works!

    I used Nomad eSIM in Europe this summer and I have Verizon. It was like $20 for 30 days, worked great. If you have an iPhone under cellular you will see eSIM and primary you can turn them on or off. If you are on WiFi you can turn your primary sim on and get your messages without getting charged the $10 a day fee Verizon charges. WiFi is easy to find in Europe so you probably don’t need much data.

Their China data plans offer decent speeds for browsing and messaging.Other eSIM providers like Airalo and Nomad also offer China plans but I found their speeds less consistent in my trips. Redteago strikes a good balance between price, speed, and coverage.For Singapore coverage during your layover, Redteago has multi-country plans including Singapore which is convenient so you don’t need to swap SIMs

    OP, can you provide more information? There's lots of good questions raised to you in this thread and many of us haven't had any major issues with nomad in the past so we'd like to better understand the underlying cause. I used nomad in Italy, Greece, and Malta in multiple vacations and only had a few places with slow service. Setup was fairly easy on my iPhone. I installed the esim before I landed and was able to connect via roaming with automatic provider when I landed. I don't think any esim is perfect but at the same time, there are known problems that can occur if some steps were missed. We'd like to find out what happened.

I would definitely say Nomad is reliable, I was iffy too as it was my very first time using an eSIM but I’m so glad I chose Nomad. Their customer service is also quick! 1 day before leaving for my trip we had a bit of a problem where I was trying to access my account on their app and website but the issue seemed to be with our home wifi and they quickly let me know what the possible issue could be and everything was resolved.

    r/eSIMs · What esim is better for traveling in europe?

    Reposted without link ! If you want a eSim where the data never expires and the phone app provides cheap outgoing phone calls , and it automatically covers about 160 countries, I can recommend Roamless. Most of Europe the data price is USD2.45 per GB. But as the data never expires you don't have to worry. I'm not sure if allowed but I have a referral link that gives you a free GB or so . I also use it as a backup in my home country as a 2nd sim . They have multiple agreements in many countries so you get to choose the best signal at any one time. Once you set up an account via the Web, you then install the phone app ( this also allows phone calls using your credit) . Once you've logged in via the phone app you'll get a USD$3 credit to use , (once you've added a bit of credit of your own) I added $5 , so ended up with $8 of credit so about 3GB equivalent. I have an Roamless eSim in my car and on my phone . At the moment you can only have one email address per eSim account so I used my other email address. They will eventually allow multiple Roamless eSims under one account I was told. (I've also used NOMAD and Airalo but for some reason had an issue with the APN settings on them but got it to work eventually, they worked fine too but they don't have the unique phone calling feature to real phone numbers)

    You done need a phone number and the vodka phone deal with the phone number requires going to the store in the UK. You can however get a UK data only esim from nomad and it will work fine. I just came from a month there and had coverage 99% of the time even in the highlands. What you do after you get it (easily installed with a QR code) is turn data off on your att account and the new eSIM should be set for your mobile data with roaming on. That's it

    r/eSIMs · US SIM and overseas eSIM?

    If your phone will allow, You can either get a second phone number via eSIM when you arrive, OR, if you do not need a second number you can get a plan with Nomad for example that will cover you data wise. You switch off data roaming on US tmobile and activate your new eSIM when you arrive. You will also switch on data roaming on your new eSIM. You can use iMessage as usual on your US number and enable WiFi calling as well. You can also make FaceTime and WhatsApp calls on your US number. Nomad just rolled out a year long plan for eSIM (no phone number). I believe you can top it off if you need more data. The cheapest is probably just wait till you arrive and get a plan with plenty data and a phone number. For making calls you can toggle back and forth between numbers. eSIM with no number you can easily get on line

    Depends on provider. Since it's from UK visa application, I guess it's Lyca or Lebara. Both supports eSIMs. Just contact the support team and ask for an eSIM replacement.

Same thing you experienced with Nomad support - they are just automatons that copy/paste their FAQ / KB articles to you without addressing the issue (that the rate limited speed is not usable). I gave up talking to them since there is zero critical thinking capability on their part (went through several of their agents).

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    We don't agree, because I don't think there's bad routing/transit. If they turn on an alternative route for post-FUP traffic that has a 30 Kbps bottleneck in it, that counts as a 30 Kbps throttle imposed by Nomad IMO.

    Illimité
    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    Your AI agrees with me "if you have a 35 Mbps end-to-end path, shaping that path to a maximum of 1 Mbps should in principle be perfectly feasible. Informal-Addendum is right about that basic networking intuition" And your AI tells us what's going on (which is what I say is going on) "routing is unlikely to explain a full 1 Mbps cap collapsing to 30 kbps [...] points to an **additional bottleneck on the provider side**", i.e., a throttle of 30 Kbps instead of 1 Mbps

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    Nah that doesn't make any sense. The way throttling works is "this subscriber may send/receive up to 1000000 bits per second", and obviously if I am on a line that supports 35 Mbps, my phone and the connection to them is capable of reaching 1 Mbps, so they're not going to "throttle" anything until I do actually send/receive 1000000 bits per second. The fact that I _can_ get 35 Mbps from them PROVES that they are throttling me to far lower than 1 Mbps.

    Illimité
    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    I had the opposite interpretation. I thought, they are capable of serving 35 Mbps, so they should be able to serve 1 Mbps easily during the throttled periods. It's not like them limiting it to 1 Mbps on their end would reduce it on my end to less than 1 Mbps, that's impossible. It exposed that they are limiting it to much lower than 1 Mbps on purpose.

    Illimité
    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    You're right. I'm just sharing my review. I wouldn't recommend Nomad eSIM unlimited plans to anyone who uses more than 2 GB of data per day, because after 2 GB of data, they effectively turn off your internet, by limiting it to 0.03 Mbps. This is the kind of reality and firsthand experience purchasers won't know about just from reading Nomad's Terms and Conditions, which paint a more hopeful and more dishonest picture.

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    I know they have this policy. I knew before purchase that they will throttle speeds to 1 Mbps. But actually the reality is they throttle to 0.03 Mbps. The difference is perfectly fine internet that I have been used to for years (1 Mbps) versus totally unusable internet that can't even load basic webpages (0.03 Mbps)

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM in China

    I've been using between 7-14 GB of data per day on my Nomad unlimited plan, let's say average 10 GB of data every day. I pay 33.13 USD for 10 days of that on their unlimited plan. If I bought 100 GB of data on prepaid plans from them it would be 70.27 USD. So it's not just an extra $2. Obviously 0.03 Mbps like they offer most of the time is unusable internet. I would pay more to have usable internet, but before that I'd see if I can find a company that offers something like 24/7 of 0.5 Mbps+ guaranteed. But I understand most buyers' decisions, the difference in price between unlimited and prepaid is quite large. Do you run a company that offers eSIMs?

    I don't like Nomad either at least for their China plan, you will need a second VPN for certain AI app usage, plus, like. you said they are using China unicom which is a tier 2 carrier in China. I swtched to [Nimvoy](https://www.nimvoy.com/destinations/cn) about a week ago (They have a dedicated China plan). Loved everything so far (speed, price, and they are using China mobile)

We also have the same phone, Pixel 8 Pro. My service would stop frequently. As I got close to the cap it wouldn’t work at all.

    iPhone 11 won’t show 5G anyway, and the 9eSIM adapter may also be the bottleneck. I’d test with a phone that has native eSIM + 5G first, like iPhone 12/13 or newer. If u want to try a different China plan, MicroEsim has a Mainland China eSIM on China Mobile 5G, so it’s not the same Unicom route you tested with Nomad. Still, 5G depends on location + device support, so I wouldn’t expect it 100% everywhere.

    This has also happened with me using Nomad in Germany. The service continued to be spotty, dropping completely for hours at a time. I troubleshooted with one of their customer service reps, essentially just restarting my phone and toggling airplane mode, it worked briefly and was then spotty again, and they just keep giving me the runaround to troubleshoot the same way, not offering a replacement esim.

    I’d be cautious if there are barely any independent reviews, especially for something as essential as data while travelling. A lot of newer eSIM providers are just reselling the same networks anyway, so sometimes it’s worth paying slightly more for established options like Maya (good long​ duration & unlimited plans), Airalo (easy setup and broad coverage) or Nomad (usually strong regional pricing and stable speeds).

    Juggling multiple eSIMs isn't a bad idea, it does mean manually activating a new profile and switching your phone's data lines every time you cross a border. If you want the convenience of a single setup, a regional Asia eSIM or Gloabal eSIM is the simplest option Providers like Airalo and Nomad offer multi country Asia packs that cover Japan, Korea and Vietnam under one digital esim, which is great for tracking fixed data plans. If you prefer unlimited data, Maya Mobile offers global plans with one esim that include hotspotting, while Ubigi is known for its local network partnerships.

Airalo and Nomad work well for flexibility, Holafly is focused towards heavy data users and Maya was convenient for me because hotspot and video calls work well while moving between countries with just one esim across. Under $100 should be doable unless you are constantly tethering multiple devices or uploading large files every day.

    r/eSIMs · Global (Europe + Armenia & Georgia) Esim for 90 days?

    Honestly, Armenia and Georgia are what make this tricky. A lot of “Europe” eSIMs don’t actually include them, even if the marketing makes it sound global-ish. For your usage though, I’d probably stop looking at the typical tourist 5–20GB plans and focus on either: * regional Europe+ plans that explicitly include Armenia and Georgia * or a global/pay-as-you-go eSIM with good roaming agreements For that amount of data (50GB+ monthly), Airalo and similar popular travel apps can get expensive pretty quickly. They’re fine for lighter users, but once you start needing hundreds of GB over 90 days, local/regional setups often make more sense. Honestly, one of the better approaches could be: use a Europe regional eSIM for most countries, then buy a cheap local eSIM in Armenia/Georgia when you arrive. Both countries usually have surprisingly affordable local data compared to Western Europe. You’d probably save quite a bit that way. If you really want one eSIM for the entire trip without switching: * Nomad sometimes has decent regional coverage including Georgia * Roamless is flexible and works well across countries, but heavy data use can become expensive * Some “global” eSIMs from providers like GigSky/BNESIM/etc. cover everything, but speeds/pricing vary a lot Also just a warning: “unlimited” plans are often not truly unlimited. A lot of them throttle hard after 20–50GB, especially on roaming networks. For your budget, under $70/month for 50GB+ across Europe + Caucasus is possible, but probably not with a single perfect all-in-one package. Mixing one regional eSIM with cheap local top-ups might honestly give you the best experience and value.

    Asie
    r/eSIMs · eSIM for Data in Canada and Alaska

    For this kind of trip (Canada + Alaska cruise), coverage matters way more than price or “big GB” plans. The main thing people run into with Alaska is that a lot of travel eSIMs work fine in Canada but get patchy as soon as you’re outside the main towns or near cruise routes. It’s not really an eSIM problem, it’s just how remote the coverage is there. What usually works best in real life is a North America regional eSIM that can roam across multiple US networks (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile). That roaming part is what makes the difference in Alaska, especially for shore excursions. Some options people commonly use: * Airalo or Nomad North America plans (generally solid in Canada, decent in Alaska but depends on carrier routing) * Roamless or similar pay-as-you-go eSIMs (a bit more expensive per GB but often more flexible in weaker coverage areas) * Any “North America” eSIM that clearly says multi-network US coverage, not just one carrier One expectation to set though, nothing will be perfect in remote Alaska. Even locals rely on spotty coverage in some areas. So I’d treat it as “good enough for maps, messaging, quick browsing” rather than full reliable internet everywhere. For your use case (cruise + day trips, data only), I’d lean toward a multi-network North America eSIM over the cheapest option, just to avoid frustration mid-trip.

    Yeah this is actually important, turkey blocks some eSIM apps locally. So the safest thing is to install and activate everything before you travel, while you still have normal access. Once you land it works fine, but setting it up there can be a headache. As for providers, from what i’ve seen it really depends on what you’re looking for. Nomad is usually the best value option, Airalo is a bit more flexible and easy to use, and Holafly is better if you want unlimited data without worrying too much. I used holafly when i was there and didn’t have any issues, especially since everything was already set up before arrival

    r/eSIMs · Warning regarding Nomad

    100% agree. Just had the same experience. I will never use them again. Completely intransparent and makes it completely useless. I ended up switching back to Airalo

    r/eSIMs · Is Nomad trustworthy?

    Bought Nomad's "12-day unlimited" plan for a work trip to Sweden. Speeds were fine the first night, then throttled to unusable within 24 hours. Turns out "unlimited" actually means 2GB per day, after which you're capped at speeds too slow to work on. That cap is not made clear at checkout. The most ridiculous part: there's no option to upgrade to a higher-tier plan once you've hit the limit. No "unlimited 10GB/day" option, no top-up path, nothing. You're just stuck. I ended up deleting the Nomad eSIM and buying a second plan elsewhere. Sunk cost, entirely avoidable if the product were built sensibly. When I contacted customer support to sort it out, I got Fin, Intercom's AI bot, returning generic responses with no resolution and no clear way to reach a human. The sign-up process is also poorly built: no autofill on any field, which felt cheap from the start. Small thing, but it set the tone. I switched to Airalo's 50GB plan and it's been the obviously better deal: more data, clearer pricing, support that actually works. Nomad isn't ready for anyone who relies on data for remote work.

    Absolute clown company. I signed up for the unlimited plan because I had to work remotely from Sweden.

I contacted customer support to sort it out and got Fin (Intercom's AI agent) serving up pure slop, no real human, no resolution. The sign-up process was already a red flag: nothing autofills, the whole flow feels cheap. I went back to Airalo and I'm never touching Nomad again. Better functionality, more transparent service, actual support. I'll be telling every friend to stay away. Non-existent customer support and a data offering that borders on fraudulent.

    Esim's like Airalo, Nomad, Holafly and Maya mobile are usually data only, so they don’t replace your At&t number, instead they give you mobile data abroad. Most people keep their normal sim on for imessage or verification texts such as OTP's etc and use the esim for internet.

    r/eSIMs · Canadian eSIM

    For a one-month trip, grab a flexible prepaid eSIM with good coverage on Rogers, Bell, or Telus networks. (TimeTransfers) Most travel eSIMs like Airalo or Nomad are data-focused, but some include a local number and minutes. Travelers recommend 10-20GB for 30 days, with easy top-ups and no contracts. Airalo even offers a local number, which is rare. Go for multi-network coverage and quick top-ups, since data's pricey in Canada otherwise. AloOui is great for flexibility and fast setup on short trips. Tips: Install before flying, skip "unlimited" plans (they throttle), and use WhatsApp as backup for calls. 👍

    For your 5-day Korea trip with light use like maps and messaging, a cheap 3-5GB eSIM is plenty. Coverage is awesome everywhere, even on budget plans from Airalo, Nomad, or Holafly via KT/SK networks. Travelers rave about it on Reddit for short trips. Group tour means low data needs, so download shows ahead and skip 1GB plans. Grab a reliable one, install pre-flight for instant landing data. (AloOui's easy too.) Korea's networks rock, hard to mess up.

    get a roaming esim like airalo or nomad rather than a local one—local sims require real-name registration and you will be stuck behind the great firewall. roaming esims route traffic through hong kong or singapore so you can actually access google and slack without a flaky vpn. check the fine print on hotspotting because some china-specific plans throttle it once you tether, fwiw. month-long 20gb packs are standard now, but do not buy the "china mainland" specific ones unless they explicitly mention vpn-free access.

    r/eSIMs · Best choice for eSIM?

    ’m currently in Greece and have been testing some eSIMs for work. Recommendations: Nomad (Europe plan), GoMoWorld (also Europe). They won’t help you with voice though, unless you have Wi-Fi calling. If you don’t have voice, esimo offers a temporary number for voice and text. I wouldn’t necessarily get their eSIM, but the app also works for calls and SMS. Not recommended in my opinion: Orange travel (the only one limited to 4G) and Holafly (no upload, so VoIP doesn’t work).​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    r/eSIMs · Heading to the Nordics (DK, FI, IS, NO) in 1 month. Need eSIM advice for first timer 🌍

    I've tested several eSIMs in Norway and Finland (haven't been to Iceland or Denmark recently). Most of the better eSIM brands are all solid: Nomad, Jetpac, Ubigi, GoMoWorld, Voye Global, Maya. Your safe by to just pick the cheapest one from these. They often route through the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Ireland or the UK. Speeds were all between 200 and 1000 Mbps. If you're leaning more towards the budget category: Sparks (via Mobimatter), eSIM4Travel and Pingwe are also good. Slightly slower, but still comfortably above 100 Mbps. These providers usually route through Poland or Austria. One thing to watch out for: be careful with some of the budget providers from Asia. They'll work fine technically, but in Scandinavia you really don't want an IP address coming out of Singapore or Hong Kong. Holafly was a bit of a letdown price-wise, and after 13 GB the "unlimited" data stopped. Still fine for 90% of travelers though, although speeds seemed capped at just above 100 Mbps from the start. Airalo used the same probider as Spark and eSIM4Travel for the Europe plan, it works fine but you can get it cheaper elsewhere. Northern European countries tend to be quite expensive when it comes to local prepaid SIMs (haven't verified this in Iceland). So personally would skip that option. I would personally probably pick GoMoWorld Europe plan for this trip.

Holafly has a 90 GB per month (3 per day) cap, and 256 kbps after, Airalo 3 GB a day and 1 mbps after. Holafly seriously caps hotspot to just 500 mb, so you can’t really share data. If you need a lot of data, I would pick a fixed plan. Nomad and GoMoWorld performed very well and will be cheaper. Nomad has cheap European 50. GB plans for Europe.

    r/eSIMs · Esim suggestions for Netherlands

    For a week in the Netherlands with light use, go for a simple Europe plan instead of country-specific ones. These usually cost less and still give solid coverage. Some budget-friendly options worth checking: \- Airalo, often one of the cheapest, small data plans (like 1–3GB) work well for maps, messaging, and light browsing \- Nomad eSIM, similar pricing, sometimes better speeds depending on the network partner \- SimCorner, slightly higher price at times, but more stable connection based on traveler feedback, especially across Europe If you’re just using Google Maps, WhatsApp, and occasional browsing, 1–2GB for the week is usually enough. Quick tip, check if your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before buying. Are you planning to stay mostly in cities like Amsterdam, or moving around different areas? That can help narrow it down further.

    Yeah I was in Egypt for a trip similar in length and honestly the “illimitato” plans are only as good as the local network they use, because after a certain amount of high speed most of them will throttle you which I noticed myself on Holafly where videos started buffering slower later in the day. I also tried a Nomad plan and it was cheaper but speeds dipped once I hit heavy use so it felt more like data until throttling rather than true unlimited. I ended up using eSIMGLOBE on that trip because it was easy to activate before landing and it kept me connected everywhere I went, so for social apps and streaming it was solid without the fuss of local, shops. Expectations should be realistic though because Egypt coverage outside big cities can vary no matter which eSIM you choose

    r/eSIMs · My experience with Nomad eSIM

    had a really frustrating experience trying to get internet with other companies. I even bought an expensive SIM kit at Walmart, only to find out it didn’t work because my phone uses eSIM. NOMAD was a total game changer. The setup was incredibly easy, worked perfectly with my eSIM, and the internet was amazing—super fast, truly unlimited, and very reliable. I absolutely loved it and would 100% recommend NOMAD to anyone looking for hassle-free, high-quality internet.

    Thank you for the reply. I was considering one for Caribbean and one for Latin America, but it looks like Global plans aren't that much more for Airalo. I am also trying to determine how much data we might use at each port of call. I know that 7 days isn't quite long enough since our Montego Bay, Jamaica stop and Puerto Limon, Costa Rica stop are more than 7 days apart*.* I can focus on global 15 day plans. That seems to break down as: **Airalo** Global (138 Countries) 2GB (15 Days) $16.50 **AloSIM** Global (148 Countries) 2GB (15 Days) $18.00 **Nomad** doesn't have a 15 day plan. **Saily** Global 2GB (15 Days) $16.49

    r/eSIMs · Best Asian regional esim? (Need: Thailand, mainland China, Korea, Japan)

    I just got back from an Asia trip where our group used different eSIM providers. I did bamboo sim, nomad, Roamless and jetpack.then Klook when Roamless failed in Taiwan.  It seemed to all work pretty well, with the exception of Roamless which failed in Taiwan, and their support was bad. I would just choose one that is reasonably priced, has chat support,  and if you’re traveling as a group, maybe use different providers to hedge your bets.

    r/travel · Any experiences with Nomad eSIM?

    I can't speak for service quality but I can speak of false advertisment and conflicting information. All over their site it's written that you should buy and install the eSIM immediately after buying, and it will only activate automatically when you connect to the abroad network. Well...in Thailand at least and who knows in how many other places, the plan is activated immediately upon eSIM installation! Unfortunately I did not notice this "exception" so I installed it immediately from home after I bought it and lost its validity before the travel. It's true that this "exception" is mentioned in the plan details and the email you later receive.... but why would they not mention that there are such exceptions to be considered in their main pages? They make it look all simple until you buy and then boom - you're screwed. Not nice, and what's worse is I could not get a full refund even though I contacted support in less than one hour after the installation. Very frustrating experience!

    This is a very common question! To add to the great advice already here, the easiest and most foolproof option for a beginner traveler who just needs data for maps and WhatsApp is generally \*\*Airalo\*\* or \*\*Nomad\*\* for Europe. They are both incredibly user-friendly and reliable. \\n\\n\*\*Why Airalo/Nomad for a beginner?\*\*\\n1. \*\*App-Based Installation:\*\* You buy the plan in their app and install the eSIM profile right there—no messy QR codes needed for most modern phones.\\n2. \*\*Immediate Activation:\*\* You can install it days before you leave, and it only activates when it connects to a network in Europe. This means you land, turn on the line, and you have data immediately.\\n3. \*\*Data-Only Focus:\*\* Since you only need data for maps and WhatsApp (which uses data), these data-only plans are perfect and cheaper than plans that include voice/SMS you won't use.\\n\\n\*\*Quick tip:\*\* Make sure you turn off 'Data Roaming' for your home SIM line in your phone settings to avoid massive charges, and only enable the new eSIM line for 'Mobile Data'.

    I’m doing the same kind of research right now for a West Coast trip. Took me a while to even find the partner networks on Nomad’s website, that tiny button doesn’t even look like a button. Here’s what I found so far, comparing 3 GB plans: Nomad: AT&T, Verizon - $9 Airalo: T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular - $8.50 Ohayu: T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T - $9.79 Holafly: AT&T - $3.90/day Saily: local networks not listed - $8.99 It’s hard to trust just TrustPilot reviews. I’m starting to think having more partner networks matters more than the price, but some of them, like U.S. Cellular, barely cover anything outside a few states. Still trying to decide if I want “unlimited” or just decent 5G that doesn’t die the second you leave downtown

    This October, my wife and I traveled to Tokyo and the Izu peninsula. While I relied on my regular phone's roaming plan, my wife used the Nomad eSIM, and the difference in service was night and day. ​While my phone struggled with consistent service—constantly switching between Rakuten, SoftBank, and KDDI—my wife's phone maintained a stable connection for the entire trip. ​In fact, the Nomad eSIM was quicker to activate service upon arrival. She was connected before even reaching immigration at Haneda Airport. ​The eSIM partner for the Nomad in Japan was SingTel. I imagine their service would be just as reliable in Malaysia, being Singapore's neighbor, and other parts of Asia. The price is also very reasonable. You also get $5 discount with promo/referral code. DM me if you can't find one to use.

    I did almost the same route last spring and found out that “unlimited” SMS usually just means within the EU. If you need to text outside Europe, most plans either limit it or charge extra.

I used SimCorner for mine because setup was quick before my flight, but a couple of my friends went with Airalo and Nomad and had no issues either.

    Sadly there isn’t a proper UK eSIM that lets you use all networks for normal data. Honest is mostly calls and texts, and most others just tie you to one network. I’ve had better luck with roaming eSIMs like Airalo, Nomad, Ubigi or SimCorner since they sometimes switch between UK carriers, but they can be slower or cost more. Honestly, keeping a cheap PAYG SIM from another network or leaning on Wi-Fi calling has been the most reliable for me.

    New to reddit, so plz be nice! I am an avid traveler, and i travel fairly frequently. I learnt about these Travel eSIMs about an year back, and since then, I have tried - Airalo, Saily, Jetpac, Nomad and Holafly. I have travelled to Europe (very frequent), US, Canada, Brazil, UAE, Turkey, India, China, South Korea, Japan (very frequent), Thailand (very frequent), Indonesia (Very frequent), Malaysia, Vietnam, and Australia! My preference order is 1) Jetpac 2) Airalo 3) Nomad **Key reasons** **1) Pricing** \-> Jetpac is best -> Nomad is second -> Airalo has worst **2) Coverage** \-> Airalo has highest countries availability, so once i had to go to Laos, and Airalo had it, and others didnt! Same for African and middle Am countries **3) Features** \-> Jetpac offers the following features which other dont a) Free whatsapp chat, Google maps, and ride hailing apps (Uber/Grab) b) Free lounge access if flights delayed by >1 hr c) Landline and Non/Whatsapp Calling facility - i could dial my hotel and a restaurant to check for reservation availability, and both didnt have whatsapp **4) Network speed and availability of multiple networks** \- Only Jetpac and Airalo offer multiple networks in single location - for e.g. in UK, Jetpac offers EE, O2 and Vodafone, so i can switch to the best network when i want. Same for Airalo in Japan for example. **5) Pack options -** Jetpac again has most flexible options - e.g. a 10 gb for 7 days, while Airalo and Saily are least flexible. **6) Unlimited pack's throttling -** I only used Unlimited packs from Holafly and Jetpac. Holafly's Fair Usage Policy is not clear. I didn't get throttled because i am not a heavy data user **7) Customer service -** All of them are good here, but again I found refunds at Jetpac very smooth. **8) Other small things -** Hotspot capability (holafly offers only 500Mb on Hotspot) Based on all the above, i have gravitated towards Jetpac mostly

    Yeah, so I’m Turkish myself and currently working at a telecom company in Europe, and here’s what really happened: eSIMs aren’t totally “banned” in Türkiye, but the government (BTK) blocked access to the websites and apps of a bunch of foreign travel eSIM providers like Airalo, Holafly, Nomad, etc. That means if you’re already using one you downloaded before arriving, it’ll probably keep working, but you can’t buy new ones or top up once you’re inside the country unless you use a VPN. Local carriers (Turkcell, Vodafone TR, Türk Telekom) still offer eSIM normally, so the tech itself isn’t illegal. It’s more that the authorities want to push people to use domestic operators instead of foreign ones. If you have any further questions, just let me know.

They try to troubleshoot after they ask a lot of information, not those troubleshooting steps cause disconnections, which close your chat connection after 3 minute... After that you have to start a new session from scratch, because the next operator has no clue what was discussed in the previous chat. That was so frustrating. On my nomad esim I had no problems connecting in Hong Kong. But the hola esim required special passport registration procedures. The helpdesk of hola fly claimed this was not necessary (big lie) Because when you executed this procedure, then the internet started working.  The whole holafly experience was a disaster.

    r/eSIMs · Choosing an eSIM for a one week trip, need advice

    Airalo is reliable in Japan, but if you want cheaper options that are still reliable, then the following all offer a 1GB eSIM valid for 7 days for these prices: esim4travel $2.18 Instabridge $2.50 Roamless $3.95 Saily $3.99 Nomad $4 Ubigi $4 Alosim $4.50 Airalo $4.50 I think all of them except esim4travel have smartphone apps, which make it easy to top up data if you run out. I'm sure you'll want more than 1GB, and the competitiveness of the providers will change as you buy bigger plans, but in general, Airalo is not usually the cheapest. It does have reliable service though.

    r/eSIMs · Going on exchange to the USA – What eSIM would you recommend for 4 months?

    For data only plans, esim4travel is usually very cheap. Jetpac and Nomad are also well-priced and have nice apps. Ubigi is another cheap one. Most Americans text via SMS and call your phone number directly, but you may be able to get by these days with the Facebook messenger app or WhatsApp. If you're interested in a temporary US phone number, look at Yesim or services like US Mobile. Yesim charges $3.60 per month — and then they charge additional fees for SMS and minutes used. US Mobile charge a bit more per month, but the SMS and minutes are included in the plan and the pricing is more transparent.

    I bought a Nomad eSIM for going to Florida for two weeks. It was £19 for 50g and it worked like a charm. There’s other amounts for different prices, 50g was definitely a lot for two weeks lol. However, It was also so easy to get on your phone! It sends you instructions and is simple to follow. I’ll definitely be using Nomad again for traveling.

    r/eSIMs · eSIM across multiple countries

    Your phone number is tied to the eSIM. If you disable your verizon eSIM, the phone number becomes unavailable to your phone. iMessage will switch over to use the email address of your apple account rather than your phone number when this happens. Sometimes this looks wonky on the other person's phone if they don't have both email and your phone number in their address book. (you may need to re-enable your verizon number and switch it back when you return home: Settings/Apps/Messages ) whatsapp may want you to do some sort of 2FA with your phone number when you first set it up, but won't require it again, or maybe not for a month or two. You'll want to sign into whatsapp before you depart and make sure its working. However, whatsapp doesn't care about your eSIM status, and will use your phone number in its own internal system, and doesn't route through the cellular networks. With data-only service like Nomad, I believe the eSIM does not have a phone number assigned to it.

    r/eSIMs · eSIM across multiple countries

    I believe the nomad app will check the phone to see if it is unlocked before you purchase the e-sim. A friend of mine tried to set up nomad, and he got warned off before he paid for an esim. Nomad's FAQ is here: [https://www.getnomad.app/help-center/en/articles/9886375-how-do-i-know-if-my-device-is-unlocked](https://www.getnomad.app/help-center/en/articles/9886375-how-do-i-know-if-my-device-is-unlocked) The other test you can do is go to the settings / cellular / and find the "eSIMs" section. If there is an "Add eSIM" option, that's usually a good sign too. If the phone says "no sim restrictions", then it sounds very hopeful. I would call the Verizon number in the nomad faq and ask to be sure. Re Contracts: You might have an annual cell phone policy, but if you brought your own phone to the plan, that contract only covers your cellular services. The locked phone issue is only when you buy a phone from the carrier, and make payments on the phone itself. The reason is they don't want to hand over a phone, have you leave verizon, and be able to use a free phone with another carrier. Locking the phone is their way of making sure you pay for it. I would check your contract info and see if part of you bill is for the phone itself.

    r/eSIMs · eSIM across multiple countries

    I've traveled to Europe using a Nomad e-sim for data only. I would use the same service again, it worked well. Nomad has an Regional EU plan that cover most of the countries in Europe & the UK. They have a 35 and 36 country plan, both cover the UK and Spain, however the 36 country plan does NOT cover Gibraltar. Both plans also cover France, Germany, Netherlands, where you may have a stop in an airport on your way to your destination. read the list of countries first before selecting, and understand it is data only. No sms or voice. If you can get by with iMesage, email and whatsap, then data only is fine. How to use: follow the instructions on the e-sim vendor's website. install the e-sim before you leave. In the settings/cellular, it will show up as another cellular carrier. pro-tip: name your existing line "Verizon primary" or something before you install your new esim, so you can easily tell which is which. Once installed, you can return to this menu and turn the e-sim on and off. Turn off verizon when you leave your home country. One gotcha that I ran into with an iPhone, is when I disable my ATT regular sim, the phone gets confused what my default country code is for phone numbers. I solved this by editing my address book and putting +1 in front of every USA phone number. A bit tedious, but solves a lot of problems when you turn off your primary e-sim. One last tip: your phone needs to be not on payment contract. If your phone was bought on a payment plan from Verizon, your phone is probably locked and won't allow another e-sim to be installed from any vendor. I have read that some people have had luck contacting their phone company and paying off the balance of their contract, unlocking the phone, and then installing a travel esim, however it sounded like it could take several weeks to sort that out.

    r/eSIMs · Mother-in-law needs eSIM

    Make sure the phone is not locked to a carrier and that you can actually install an e-sim. I used Nomad in several countries and it worked fine. Nomad is Data only, so no voice number or SMS, but you can use whatsapp for voice calls. Nomad has individual country plans, as well as EU regional. You install the app, and then use it to buy, and download the esim. You can also use the app to add more credit to the plan if needed. I believe you can do buy the esim 30 days before the trip, so OP, you can help your MIL do the setup before she leaves. Pro-tip. change the sim name to make the most sense. "Home", "Nomad-EU" etc. Once installed, you go into the iPhone settings, under cellular, and you can turn the e-sim and the regular data carrier sim on and off as needed. I assume android has something similar. This task shouldn't be too difficult if you show MIL how to do it, and you can show her before she leaves.

    r/eSIMs · Nomad eSIM - No tether or hotspot?

    Hey, just leaving a quick note here for anyone who might run into something similar. Hotspot/tethering *is* generally supported on Nomad eSIMs, but there can be rare cases where certain local networks or device configurations affect whether the hotspot option shows up. It's not a blocked feature, but it does sometimes depend on carrier behavior or how the device handles eSIMs. If anyone hits the same issue, it's worth restarting, checking for system updates, or resetting network settings – though sometimes the network itself may be the limiting factor. Hope this helps someone else who lands here.

It was seamless connecting on arrival. And the coverage was generally v good for intermittent navigation in Taipei, Alishan and Kaohsiung for reading mainly text based websites. I bought 5 gig thinking it would be enough for 8 days but had to buy 3 more as the iPhone system services consumed 4.47gig in that time. Which I thought odd and excessive for the intermittent use (and I was on airplane mode to help save battery while out and about). But anyhow would recommend Nomad just don’t be stingy on the data like I was. X

    Just arrived from Mexico a few days ago, got the eSIM Nomad as it has good feedback overall from what I've read around but couldn't be more disappointed. I chose the 10GB/30days plan for $9 - it was on sale and also got a coupon code. Really really bad service. I went through the cities I mentioned and couldn't be connected half of the vacations. Cancún, Tulum, Playa del Carmen (only in the Xcaret parks there) were the only places which the signal was OK and could surf most of the time with no issues. Valladolid really unstable, Chichen Itza non existing, Chiquilá non existing, Holbox same. While driving also non existing. Bottom line, won't trust Nomad on my next trip to latin or asian countries. Perhaps in Europe works OK, but won't give then another chance on the other ones.

    r/eSIMs · Help understanding ESims

    Whatever you do, keep your phone unlocked so you can sign up for any travel/data only eSim when you are out of the country. It will save you tons of money on roaming. iPhone 11, 12 and 13 allows 1 eSim and 1 physical sim to be active simultaneously. iPhone 14 and up only have eSims and also 2 eSims to be active simultaneously. What this means is you can have your US number active at the same time you have a local travel/data eSim active. If you are keeping the iPhone 11 then just keep your US number as a physical sim and just download eSim as your Travel/Data before you embark on your travel (i use Nomad). Yes some eSim comes with local numbers aside from just data if you prefer. So when traveling I use wi-fi for my US number line (to avoid roaming charges) and use travel/data eSim when I'm away from wi-fi as my "wi-fi" to my US number line on. This way i receive and can make calls, texts (2FA) and use my various apps like I'm in the US without any hefty roaming fees.

Wie schon zu Anfangs geschrieben, hat alles geklappt, ich kann es empfehlen. @nomad gern geschehen 😉

    r/eSIMs · E-sim Francia e Islandia

    ¡Hola! Para Francia e Islandia, te recomiendo buscar una eSIM con cobertura regional europea. **Airalo** y **Nomad** tienen opciones decentes, pero ojo con los límites diarios en los planes “ilimitados”. Si prefieres algo más confiable y sin sorpresas, yo siempre llevo activa **Flexiroam**. Me ha funcionado genial en zonas rurales de Islandia y en ciudades como París. Además, puedes cambiar de país sin cambiar de SIM, lo cual es perfecto para viajes multi-destino como el tuyo 🌍📶

Questions fréquentes

Nomad est-il fiable pour voyager dans plusieurs pays ?

Les utilisateurs Reddit rapportent de nombreux voyages sans difficulté avec les forfaits régionaux, notamment en Europe et en Asie. Certains décrivent toutefois des coupures prolongées ou une absence de connexion dans certaines destinations. Les témoignages invitent aussi à vérifier la liste exacte des pays inclus.

Le forfait illimité Nomad convient-il au télétravail ?

Plusieurs utilisateurs Reddit signalent une forte baisse de débit après épuisement du quota quotidien à pleine vitesse, jusqu’à rendre les usages professionnels impraticables. Les limites sont jugées insuffisamment claires par certains acheteurs. Les retours sont plus favorables aux forfaits à volume défini, sans garantir une connexion adaptée à tous les besoins professionnels.

Peut-on installer Nomad avant le départ ?

Les utilisateurs Reddit trouvent généralement l’installation simple, via l’application ou un QR code, et plusieurs la préparent avant leur voyage. Un témoignage rapporte toutefois qu’un forfait pour la Thaïlande a commencé sa période de validité dès l’installation. Les retours soulignent donc l’importance de vérifier les modalités d’activation du forfait choisi.

Nomad permet-il WhatsApp et le partage de connexion ?

Les utilisateurs Reddit rapportent des usages satisfaisants de WhatsApp, y compris pour les appels, et du partage de connexion vers un ordinateur. Les forfaits décrits sont principalement dédiés aux données, sans numéro local ni appels ou SMS classiques. Quelques témoignages signalent néanmoins des difficultés de partage selon le réseau ou l’appareil.
