Nomad eSIM: Prepaid Data Plan

I took a month long study trip to China and was living in the same place and navigating the same areas of coverage, unfortunately high speed service was rare and I was often left with 3G, and the inexplicably it would go to 5G. When it works it works well and was useful navigating China when it worked. For travelers I would recommend getting a Chinese number, but having one is playing on hard mode.

Nomad eSIM deliberately uses language in their data plan to mislead its customers. The “add on” plan that they offer is no add on at all. Your existing data doesn’t carry over at all, it expires and the “add on” plan you purchase is no different than a new plan. The “details” page they show you never mentions that your data doesn’t carry over. They use the name “add on” tricking you to buy the plan early making you think that your it’ll add on to your existing plan. The part that states that your existing data doesn’t carry over is hidden in their help content. Why would a customer go digging for such information when the “details” don’t mention that and they call it “add on plan”? Most people won’t and this is how they fool you into thinking that you’re actually getting a fair deal. But that’s just their scammy tactics into getting you to pay for a plan early on and then find out that your existing data doesn’t carry over after the new plan have started already, therefore doesn’t qualify for a refund. Stay away from this type of anti consumer company. They should be sued for false advertising!
