None Functioning

Need an account for an eSIM which seems reasonable, but when i put in my email in the email address field it just gives an error 'email addresses are not supported' and there seems to be no way around it. My email is fairly simple with only letters and a hyphen.

You don’t get what you pay for

I paid for 10 GB for 30 days, and even though I have full bars of LTE, it is not good service by any means. I tried restarting my phone and nothing helped. My plan used AT&T and I could hardly load any web pages or watch YouTube.

Sim did not work in Japan

I purchased a sim to use in Japan, it did not work. Previous sim in New Zealand did. Support is awful, their AI bot said a refund will be processed, 5 days later, nothing. After speaking to support they said it’s not refundable. I will be speaking with my bank.

Easy to use and affordable

I’ve travelled multiple times this last year, and have used Nomad every time. The prices are fair and it is easy to use!

use others instead!

stopped working one day whilst i was travelling solo. very scary and unfortunate. i swapped to sailey and haven’t had any more issues.

Best application ever!

I have been using Nomad for couple of years now. I always have internet outside the country.

Bug

Haven’t been able to login on App or website to manage my data pack. Could anyone take a look if there is a bug? Thanks

I paid for 30gb for 3 days in china

Reception frequently lost. Plan stopped working entirely after 1 day. Would no longer connect to cell service at all.

Will try again

This app did not work in the USA for me.
However nomad gave me a refund to try it again, so I will next time I travel to the USA. Same issue with sailly but they gave no refund

trash

can not login

Horrible

Started off good for the first maybe 10 hours with this app. Once I ran out of data on my first plan I bought a new plan activated it but when I went to use it all I had was issues. You contact support & they give u troubleshooting that doesn’t work at all. & than they tell u, u are not eligible for a refund on your plans despite them not even working for you got the unlimited plan that lasted maybe 10 hours until i used 2gb of data & than the whole plan stopped working. Contacted support & they did nothing to help me at all. I had a 3 day unlimited plan that only worked the first day. & support took another 2 days on my issue & than told me they had no way they were able to reset the time for the plan or compensation of any sort. Airalo is a way better eSIM app please don’t waste your time here!!!!!

Scam

Fraudulent app

Airalo is way better

Never had any issue connecting upon landing with Airalo, but Nomad let me down on its first trial in Vietnam. Now I’m supposed to change APN? Why? Just switch to an eSIM that works right the first time.
eSIM and app can’t even see I’m in Vietnam!

Scam

Such a scam. It says unlimited but only the first 2g is 5g, rest are 1 mbps. Cant do anything with that speed. It’s useless!

Very impressed

I’m using the Nomad eSIM in China and have found it very efficient. My husband has no problems following BBCSport which we can’t access on any hotel WiFi.

Good value

Very easy to install and use

Japan trip

From the moment I got off the plane nomad eSIM has been great… I’ve been non stop using my iPhone for taxi to Apple Maps and just general use of scrolling. Highly recommended 👍

Not for USA

This app did not work in the USA

Not for Bali

This is not a good option for Bali. I picked it because it said it used the Telkomsel network in the description. Then it didn’t. Whatever other janky networks it was connecting to didn’t work in my apartment. It was just never ending troubleshooting in the app - which is frustrating in itself because the customer service chats just disappear on you and you can’t get them back. They just updated the app but still the same problem with the disappearing chats.

Good service

Good customer service: responsive and helpful. Maybe another provider will be cheaper, but is a few $ worth it if you need help?
