Mobile data worked throughout Florida

Mobile data worked throughout Florida — from Key West and Miami all the way to Orlando. The only issue was that the QR code and setup link didn’t work back home when I first tried to install the eSIM. However, I was able to add the eSIM manually through my phone settings, and it worked perfectly afterward. I only needed to set the APN for mobile data, and everything connected without problems. I really recommend Nomad — great value for money.

The Nomad eSIM worked well in Europe

The Nomad eSIM worked well in Europe, the speeds were solid and the app is easy to use. I had a small issue activating it at first, but support helped quickly.

Khaleel McDonald

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.

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!
