How do I install an Nomad eSIM?

QR code delivered by email, plus in-app management. Buy before you fly while you still have home connectivity, but do not activate until you land — validity usually starts on first connection to a local network, not at purchase. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked and eSIM-capable.

Can I top up an Nomad South Korea plan?

Nomad offers South Korea plans up to 365 days, so for longer stays it is usually cheaper to buy the longer plan up front than to top up a short one. Top-up availability varies by plan — check the plan detail before you buy if you expect to extend.

Is Nomad a good choice for South Korea?

Nomad sits between the budget resellers and the premium brands. Its sweet spot is the 5–20 GB range on trips of one to four weeks, where its per-GB pricing typically undercuts Airalo without dropping to the bargain tier. Regional bundles (Asia, Europe) are often better value than Nomad's own single-country plans, so it's worth checking both if your trip crosses a border.

Where it wins

✓Strong per-GB value in the 5–20 GB range
✓Regional bundles often cheaper than single-country equivalents
✓Transparent top-up pricing
