“Easy to use, decent speeds (not particularly fast but not frustratingly slow either). But this eSIM uses roaming via Hong Kong, so I wasn't able to use ChatGPT which was a bummer.”
“Nomad eSIM was easy to buy, easy to use (you just activate the plan from app and turn on data roaming) but in the Philippines it was definitely not that fast.
The one I bought from Nomad connected to Globe 4G, but was actually roaming via Hong Kong (provider called 1010 / csl).
I tried to use tethering at the airport on my way back but the network was sooo slow for some reason. Maybe just the airport, not sure.”
Nomad does not provide a truly unlimited eSIM plan for the Philippines. The plans that include “unlimited” in their name actually limit high‑speed data to 2 GB per day, after which the speed is throttled to 1000 kbps. For travelers who need unrestricted high‑speed data, Nomad offers fixed‑data alternatives instead. One example is the 50 GB plan valid for 30 days, priced at $45 USD, which allows tethering and provides full‑speed data until the cap is reached. Another option is a 30 GB plan valid for 60 days, also priced at $45 USD, giving a substantial amount of data that can be used throughout the validity period. These examples illustrate the types of high‑data‑allowance plans available, though none are truly unlimited.
Nomad does not offer eSIM plans for the Philippines that include a phone number or SMS capability. Travelers who need a local number or SMS would need to use a data‑only Nomad eSIM and rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage for calls and messaging.
Nomad offers a total of 8 single‑country data plans that specifically cover the Philippines, and 32 multi‑country plans that include Philippine coverage as part of their range. The available plans span a price range from about $4.00 up to $170.00, with data caps that vary between 1 GB and 50 GB and validity periods from 5 days to 365 days. Among their catalog, some plans are fixed‑data packages while a small subset provide daily data caps, giving users options for both short‑term stays and longer visits.
