Nomad eSIM Data Plans for East Asia

Nomad does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for East Asia. Every plan that covers China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Macau, Taiwan and the adjacent eight countries lists a specific data cap, such as the 5‑day plan with 37.5GB, the 10‑day plan with 75GB, and the 45‑day plan with 50GB. Even when a plan name contains the word “unlimited, ” the cap remains in place and the plan is not truly unlimited.

For travelers who need more than what the fixed‑data options allow, purchasing a higher‑capacity plan is typically more economical than relying on additional data or throttled speeds. Those who are very heavy data users may find that the fixed‑data plans become the most cost‑effective choice, while lighter users can benefit from the shorter‑validity, lower‑capacity offers.

Nomad does not provide an East Asia eSIM that includes a mobile phone number or SMS capability. The provider offers only data‑only plans for East Asian destinations. Travelers can still use VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages.

Nomad’s eSIM offerings that cover East Asia include Regional APAC – –, Regional APAC, Regional Global – –, and Regional Global‑EX – –. These plans provide coverage across China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Macau, and Taiwan. In addition, the Regional APAC – – and Regional APAC plans extend services to other APAC countries such as Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Regional Global – – and Regional Global‑EX – – plans broaden coverage worldwide with many additional destinations listed in their other‑region sections.
