“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 data eSIM plan for the Philippines. All of its plans that carry the word “unlimited” in the name actually offer a fixed daily allowance of 2 GB, after which the speed is throttled to 1000 kbps.
If you need a larger data allowance, Nomad offers fixed data plans such as the 50 GB plan valid for 30 days or the 30 GB plan valid for 60 days. These plans give you a set amount of high‑speed data that must be used within the specified validity period, and they can be more cost‑effective for most travelers.
Nomad does not provide an eSIM with a local phone number or SMS capability for the Philippines. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available from this provider. Travelers who need voice or text services can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, though the availability of these apps can be limited or blocked in some destinations.
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.
