Travelling can get pricey fast — flights, hotels and meals all add up. Add roaming fees, and your phone bill can blow your budget. An eSim is an easy workaround to avoid those inflated costs. While they’re often cheaper than roaming plans, it’s still an extra cost to consider.
Fortunately, Nomad is offering 30% off all eSIMs with our exclusive code CNET30. You’ll need to order a minimum of two eSIMs, which makes this promotion perfect for trips of two or more or frequent travelers. The code is valid through Dec. 31, 2025.
Nomad’s eSIMs work in over 100 countries and activate instantly. They’re a simple, affordable way to stay connected wherever you go. And since you’ll need the internet to use maps, you’re basically saving yourself from getting lost or pretending you meant to take the scenic route in a new city.
Plans start small. For example, a 10GB Japan plan for 30 days costs just $22. If you’re hopping between destination, a 30-days 5GB global plan would set you back $45 and is valid across 112 countries — ideal for frequent fliers or digital nomads.
