It’s like my phone plan has commitment issues. The moment I leave the country, it just gives up on me completely. Switching physical SIMs was always a hassle, and don’t even get me started on roaming charges on outrageous roaming charges. The Nomad eSIM app makes traveling way less stressful and helps you focus on rocking it on Insta, rather than being a Wi-Fi rat.
Install it with a quick scan, select a plan that fits exactly where and how long you’re going, and boom – instant connectivity. It covers 4G/5G internet in over 200 countries, and right now, new users can save 30% on their first plan, using code PCMAG30 before December 31. So you can start packing and saving until them!

First off, Nomad covers over 200 countries, so no matter if you’re hopping from Europe to Asia or just staying local, you’re connected. Their app makes setting up your eSIM incredibly simple: just scan a QR code or use one-tap activation. It’s got super flexible plans, offering options from country-specific data to regional bundles, and even a Global plan that works in all Nomad-covered spots for a flat per-gigabyte rate. It gives you 4G and 5G speeds on trusted local networks, so no slow loading or surprise outages. Plus, the app lets you top up on the go, so no stress if you unexpectedly need extra data.
What I love most is the ability to share your connection through a mobile hotspot, which means your laptop or tablet stays online even without public Wi-Fi. Nomad’s plans don’t support voice calls or texts, but let’s be real, most of us already use WhatsApp or similar apps when traveling. Also, you keep your regular phone number active for calls and texts at home, so no juggling numbers. They also give 24/7 customer support means help is always there if the tech ever trips you up. Our expert, Iyaz Akhtar, called the Nomad eSim a good option for travelers and deal seekers, in his in-depth review, noting, “Nomad includes clear policies and specifies the networks you’ll connect to up front.”
If you plan your life around the trips you will take (like me), having an eSim partner like Nomad feels like a god-send. New users can use the promo code PCMAG30 and get 30% off on their first purchase, and honestly, I am a little jealous that I can’t use it myself! Get it, and thank me later.
