eSIMs for Digital Nomads

For digital nomads, reliable internet access is crucial for working remotely while traveling. While fast 4G or 5G is essential, using home carrier roaming can be costly, especially for high data usage.

If you're a digital nomad, having reliable online access is essential for effective remote work while traveling across different countries. In particular, fast and stable 4G or 5G service is a must. However, using roaming services from your home carrier is often expensive, especially when it comes to large amounts of data. 

Buying local SIM cards in each new country also comes with challenges – choosing the right provider and tariff in an unfamiliar language, locating a store, dealing with document requirements, and plans that are only valid for a limited time.

Fortunately, there’s a more convenient alternative: a travel eSIM. It can save you both time and money by providing instant mobile internet access. In this article, we’ll explore what makes this option so practical for digital nomads.

Top Advantages of Travel eSIMs for Digital Nomads

Regardless of your profession – whether you're a graphic designer, copywriter, programmer, or blogger – a travel eSIM is a smart way to stay connected with a stable internet connection. Here’s why:

  • No documents or contracts required. Unlike local SIM cards, travel eSIMs are much easier to get. All you need is an email to register on the TooSIM website or app – you'll instantly receive a QR code to activate your eSIM.
  • Fully online purchase. There's no need to search for SIM card vendors in a new country or worry about exchanging currency. Everything can be done online in just a few clicks.
  • Flexible plans to match your travel style. You can choose between local eSIMs for a single country (with over 200 options), regional plans that cover several countries – ideal for frequent travelers – or even global packages for worldwide use. You can also select the data volume (1 GB, 3 GB, 20 GB, etc.) and validity period (7, 15, 30 days or more) that suit your needs. TooSIM also offers long-term plans – for example, 50 GB valid for up to 180 days – ideal for those who need more data over an extended period.

  • Instant activation right from your smartphone settings. As soon as you land in a new country, you can connect within minutes — allowing you to use online maps, translators, book a cab, and more without delay. The whole setup takes less than 5 minutes.
  • Access 5G internet in most locations. We provide access to multiple local carriers in each country(for example, TIM, Vodafone Italy, Wind Tre, Iliad in Italy; AIS, TrueMove H, DTAC in Thailand, and others). If one network has weak coverage in an area, another will ensure a reliable signal.

What Tariffs Work Well for Digital Nomads?

At TooSIM, we offer a variety of plans tailored to your lifestyle. If you’re planning to stay in one country for an extended period, local packages with larger data allowances are usually the best choice – they’re the most affordable and provide the most reliable internet connection. You can choose from options lasting up to 180 days (with unlimited data or up to 50 GB) or shorter plans. Here are some examples:

  • Italy: 5 GB/15 days - $8.99, 10 GB/30 days - $12.99, 20 GB/30 days - $21.99, 50 GB/30 days - $47.99.
  • Thailand: 10 GB/30 days - $26.99, 20 GB/30 days - $44.99, 50 GB/30 days - $99.99.
  • Portugal: 5 GB/30 days - $9.99, 10 GB/30 days - $14.99, 20 GB/30 days - $22.99, 50 GB/30 days - $51.99.

At the same time, if you’re traveling to neighboring countries, you can also purchase additional affordable short-term packages. For example, in Poland, options like 1 GB for 7 days at $3.99, 2 GB for 15 days at $5.99, or 5 GB for 30 days at $9.99 allow you to stay connected without overspending.

If you’re an active traveler who works on the go and frequently switches between destinations, regional or global plans with larger data allowances are a better fit. These plans provide internet access across multiple locations. For example:

  • Europe: 10 GB/30 days – $10,99, 20 GB/30 days – $27,99, 50 GB/30 days – $60,99.
  • Asia: 10 GB/30 days – $36,99, 20 GB/30 days – $61,99, 50 GB/30 days – $138,99.
  • Middle East: 10 GB/30 days – $50,99, 20 GB/30 days – $85,99, 50 GB/30 days – $192,99.
