Nomad (eSIM company)

Nomad is a provider of eSIM (embedded SIM) data plans for travelers. An eSIM is a digital SIM card that allows users to activate a mobile data plan from a carrier without needing a physical SIM card. Nomad offers a range of data plans that are specific to countries, regions, and global coverage.

Nomad’s service aims to provide a convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional roaming charges or purchasing local SIM cards when traveling internationally. Users can purchase and install eSIM profiles directly onto their eSIM-compatible devices through the Nomad app or website. Upon arrival in their destination, they can activate the purchased eSIM data plan.

The company markets itself by highlighting the ease of use, competitive pricing, and flexibility of its eSIM data plans. It emphasizes that users can remain connected while traveling without the hassle of swapping SIM cards or incurring high roaming fees. The plans typically offer a set amount of data valid for a specified period.

Nomad operates as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), partnering with existing mobile network operators to provide its service. This means Nomad does not own its own cellular infrastructure but leases network capacity from other providers.
