Android & eSIM

eSIMs are a real game-changer for connection all around the world. Since 2017 and Google Pixel 2 the first smartphone with built-in eSIM, Android has entered the eSIM world. Since then, more and more mobile phone manufacturers are producing eSIM-friendly devices.

Before installing (or even buying), just make sure your phone is compatible with eSIM. There are over 60 eSIM-friendly Android devices on the market, and you may be even surprised that your phone has an eSIM!

The most recent and up-to-date list of eSIM-compatible smartphones can be found here. New eSIM-compatible models are released every quarter so check back often!

And what about the future of Android and eSIM? Well, Google has been working on a framework that supports multiple SIM profiles on a single eSIM (MEP eSIM) for several months. This is big - that means that with just 1 eSIM, you can actually have multiple data plans from multiple carriers.

The latest news regarding this is that Google added this feature in AOSP Android 13, and it's now up to device manufacturers to offer it on their own products. It seems that the newly released Pixel 7 does support this feature.

In the mean time, however, Nomad has got your back with something just as good. Most eSIM-compatible phones today support multiple eSIMs anyway. And with Nomad, purchasing multiple data plans for different countries is a breeze.

Nomad App’s Features

Nomad Android Application is very simple and easy to use. After signing up, you step into the magical world of eSIM. You can buy one of our data plans in our shop right away!

Just choose one of our single plans for over 100 countries, a global plan (including 111 countries) or one of our 3 regional plans. For Payment Method, you can choose between PayPay or Credit or Debit Card. What is important is that after purchasing a data plan, you have 30 days to activate it.

By clicking on the **My eSIM **section, you can see the data plan you purchased, as well as how many GB you have used and how much is left. A simple way for keeping track of your current data plan!

You can also see expired data plans. If by any chance you use all the data, don't worry! You can always add more! There are a lot of Add-on data plan options. For example, you can see Add-on data available options for UK data plan here.

Basically, you will always be able to access how many GB you have left, while on your trip and will always be able to add more data!

And there are two ways to install your eSIM: by scanning the QR code or via manual input. Read all about it on our blog post on how to install an eSIM.

Nomad Loyalty Points
