Travelling is fantastic. The thrill of seeing new places, cultures and just getting away from it all. But it’s not without its stresses, as you need to be sure you’ve got your passport, money, tickets, not to mention which trains, planes or ships you need to catch. It can all get a little overwhelming at times. Thanks to Nomad eSIMs though, there’s at least one area that you don’t need to worry about, and that’s using your phone abroad.
Nomad aims to make global roaming affordable for as many people as possible, with its vision to ‘democratise data’. This might sound like a lofty ideal, but thanks to the company developing partnerships with providers across the world, its eSIM prices are usually 20-40% cheaper than the competitors in many countries.
What is an eSIM?
If you’ve not encountered eSIMs before, they are a simple idea. Instead of a physical SIM card that you need to put in your phone, these are software versions that do the same job. The advantages are that you don’t need to remove your existing SIM card (which might then get lost), and you can buy and set up an eSIM in about five minutes via the Nomad app, by either tapping a button or scanning a QR code.
This means you don’t need to look around for a local provider when you arrive in a country, plus it usually works out cheaper than buying a roaming package from your existing network provider.
For example, if you’re travelling through Europe, then you can get a 10GB data plan for 30 days which costs just $18 (which is around £14). Going to the USA? It’s the same price. At the moment, there’s even an incredible offer where you can take 50GB of data with you on a trip to Thailand and have it only cost $8 (around £6)!
The Nomad app also comes with data management and monitoring features that work across multiple SIMs, letting you know how much data you’ve used and allowing you to top up if you need more.
