With some phones no longer offering the option to insert a physical SIM card, eSIMs are now the go‑to solution for many of us. They mean you don’t have to deal with those little bits of plastic when you get a new phone, but that’s just the start.

An eSIM also makes it easier to avoid roaming charges when you travel overseas. And right now, Nomad is offering 30% off all its eSIMs when you order two or more. Just enter the exclusive discount code CNET30 at checkout.

This deal runs through Dec. 31, but it won’t work with sale items, add‑ons or plans that cost less than $5. Everything else is fair game.

Using a local eSIM when you travel means you can use your phone for data, instant messaging and more without worrying about huge roaming bills. All you have to do is choose the country you’re traveling to and follow the instructions. For example, an Australian eSIM with 10GB of data costs just $15, and it lasts for 30 days before it runs out.

Whether you’re using the latest iPhone or a budget phone, these deals could save you money when you travel. And who doesn’t like saving money?

Why this deal matters

Traveling overseas is already expensive, so why not save money wherever you can? Using your phone abroad doesn’t have to cost a fortune, and this Nomad offer is a prime example. Just make sure to enter the discount code CNET30 when checking out. You’ll only find this code on CNET, so use it while you can.
