Nomad eSIM Data Plans for Southeast Asia

Nomad does not provide a true unlimited‑data eSIM for Southeast Asia. The plans that carry “unlimited” in their name actually include a fixed high‑speed allocation – for example, the Regional APAC 5‑day plan offers 37.5GB and the 10‑day plan 75GB. Once those limits are reached the speed is reduced, though the exact throttled speed is not listed.

If a traveler needs a larger or longer‑lasting data allowance, Nomad offers fixed‑data plans such as the 50GB 45‑day Regional APAC plan or the 50GB 365‑day Global‑EX plan covering the same Southeast Asian countries. These options give a sizeable amount of data and can be more cost‑effective than an “unlimited” plan that throttles after a fixed amount has been used.

Nomad does not provide a Southeast Asia eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The provider offers only data‑only plans for Southeast Asia. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection for voice and messaging.

Nomad’s Southeast Asian eSIM offerings are grouped primarily under the Regional APAC – – and Regional SEA‑Oceania – – plans, both of which provide coverage for Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The Regional APAC plan expands this base by adding Brunei, Cambodia and Laos, and the Regional Global – – plan covers the same nine nations: Brunei, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. All of these plans therefore provide service in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Cambodia and Laos; Timor Leste and Myanmar are not included in any of Nomad’s Southeast Asian packages.
