On iOS: Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Add Cellular Plan (or Add Data Plan), then scan the QR codeb. On Android (Google Pixel): Go to Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs > Add More> Download a SIM instead, and then scan the QR codec. On Android (Samsung): Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Card Manager > Add Mobile Plan > Scan QR codeFor more information refer to .this blog postRemember to turn “Data Roaming” on to start using your data!

Sri Lanka en India

Ik had eerst verkeerde apac gekocht. Met behulp van de helpdesk snel opgelost. Ik heb uiteindelijk gekozen voor een losse esim voor Sri Lanka en een losse voor India. De esim is super makkelijk te installeren en het werkte perfect!

Worked well each time!

I've used Nomad to purchase a data eSIM for multiple countries and it's worked well each time. Activation is fairly simple, and the sim is ready when you are. You can track your data usage in the app and you aren't tricked into another billing cycle like some other companies have done in the past

Global regional plan has been working perfectly

I got the regional plan which covered 54 countries for 45 days to 20 Giga and it has been working perfectly,haven't changed countries yet to see if it works well some flying from Korea to China so I really hope that it keeps working well for me so far 5 stars. easy installation as well

Only eSim that works for me

I’ve tried other eSims, two other companies, and they never worked, this is the only one that worked for me and another friend who also tried the same two companies, and they didn’t work for her either. It was a huge waste of money and time. I only use Nomad now.

My first ESIM

It’s an amazing eSIM experience. I travel a lot and always use to buy local sims and always was afraid not to have data where I landed! Now the whole world is on my tips! Always connected!
