History
Founded in 2020, Nomad began as a division of LotusFlare, Inc., a telecommunications software firm created by engineers formerly employed at Facebook and Microsoft.
Nomad provides a connectivity platform that features mobile data plans from multiple global communications providers. Travelers with eSIM-enabled devices can acquire local data packages, helping to minimize roaming expenses. These eSIMs can be purchased through Nomad’s website or mobile application.
The offerings include both worldwide and regional data plans covering regions such as Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Oceania, designed to accommodate brief visits as well as longer stays. The service delivers data-only connectivity, enabling voice and video calls via applications like FaceTime or WhatsApp.
In 2024, Nomad launched Nomad eSIM Enterprise, a solution tailored specifically for corporate travelers.
The company’s services have been highlighted in prominent media outlets including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and CNBC.
