Nomad
Traveling to a new place in a new country is great but nowadays, staying connected to the internet is often a priority for people who would love to update their status, upload a few pics and videos or work while traveling abroad or workcation. You can find physical SIM cards in any foreign country but the exorbitant and often unregulated charges may put you off.
Fortunately, that’s not the case with Nomad. All you need is a eSIM-supported phone and the Nomad app and you are good to go. Nomad lets you experience local connectivity with over 165+ destinations. It essentially bypasses queries and the activation time of physical SIM cards. Moreover, there’s always the advantage of switching SIMs when you travel from one place to another. You can choose calling and data plans right from within the app.
