Nomad eSIM Data Plans for Ireland

Nomad does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM plan for Ireland. The plans that use “unlimited” in their name actually provide a fixed amount of high‑speed data per day – for example, the Local Ireland – 3 Days – unlimited plan offers 2 GB/day, and the Local Ireland – 7 Days – unlimited plan also provides 2 GB/day. Once that daily allowance is reached, the speed would be throttled, although the specific reduced speed is not listed in the data.

Travelers can instead choose from fixed data plans that grant larger data allowances, such as a 50 GB plan that is valid for 30 days. These fixed‑data plans may offer a more cost‑effective option for users who anticipate higher overall data consumption, especially when traveling within Ireland.

Nomad does not provide Ireland eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. Customers can only purchase data‑only eSIMs, which provide high‑speed Internet access. For voice and messaging, travelers can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage, which operate over the data connection.

Nomad offers a mixture of data packages for travelers to Ireland. Ten single‑country plans cover only Ireland, while twenty‑six multi‑country packages incorporate Ireland within larger European or global footprints. Plans come in two principal formats: fixed data allocations that grant a set amount of data for the entire validity period and daily‑cap options that reset each day and are useful for short‑term intense usage. Across both kinds of plans, the price ranges from about $4.50 to roughly $170, while the data caps span from 1 GB up to 75 GB, with validity periods that can last from three days to a year. Features such as tethering are available on some of the packages, giving consumers flexibility in how they use the data.
