It is highly recommended to obtain Nomad eSIM before your international trip and install the eSIM prior to your departure. Please note that installing the eSIM requires a data connection, so ensure that your Nomad eSIM is installed before your flight takes off. Many Nomad eSIMs will provide automatic connectivity upon arrival, allowing you to access data as soon as you land. In the event that the Nomad eSIM you purchased requires manual activation, you can connect to the airport Wi-Fi and tap the "Start/Activate" button, or you can tap the "Start/Activate" button just before your flight.
The recommended way to install your eSIM is through the QR code we provided via in-app instruction and email.
a. On iOS: Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Add Cellular Plan (or Add Data Plan), then scan the QR code
b. On Android (Google Pixel): Go to Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs > Add More> Download a SIM instead, and then scan the QR code
c. On Android (Samsung): Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Card Manager > Add Mobile Plan > Scan QR code

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

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!
