Nomad eSIM Data Plans for South Korea

Nomad does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM plan for South Korea. The plans listed under Nomad’s APAC and Global‑EX packages have fixed data allowances – for example, a 5‑day plan offers 37.5GB, a 10‑day plan 75GB, a 45‑day plan 50GB, and a 365‑day plan 50GB at 4 G. These plans are marketed with names that include “unlimited, ” but the term refers to the high‑speed data provision; once the set data cap is reached, the speed is reduced (the exact reduced speed is not specified in the dataset). If a traveler needs more data, choosing one of these fixed‑data options may be more cost‑effective than a truly unlimited plan, which is not available from Nomad for South Korea.

Nomad does not provide eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability for South Korea. All of Nomad’s South Korean eSIM offerings are data‑only, so travelers cannot make or receive traditional voice calls or SMS messages using the eSIM. For communication, users can rely on internet‑based applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which operate over the data connection and allow calls and messaging without a dedicated phone number.

Nomad offers 9 single‑country plans that cover South Korea and 27 multi‑country plans that include South Korea. Prices across these plans range from about $4 to $170 and data caps vary from 1 GB to 75 GB. Fixed data cap plans provide a set amount for the entire validity period, while daily data cap plans reset the data allowance each day, offering more flexibility for short‑term usage.
