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 publishes 40 data plans that include Ireland: 10 are single‑country offerings and 30 are multi‑country packages that incorporate Irish coverage. The available plans span prices from about $4.50 to $170, data volumes from 1 GB to 75 GB, and validity periods ranging from three to 365 days. Of the plans, four cap data on a daily basis while the remaining 36 provide a fixed data allocation for the entire validity period; both formats allow local tethering on several options.
