Pros
- A full 1 GB, which is the largest dated free trial we track.
- No payment card needed to claim it.
- Three days is long enough to cover an arrival and a first full day.

Coverage
Nomad publishes 48 destinations for the free trial.
Destination lists change and regional plans differ from country plans, so check yours against Nomad’s own coverage page before you install anything.
Our verdict
The cleanest free trial in the category. A full gigabyte, no card on file, and three days to use it, which is enough to prove the network works before you buy a longer plan. If you are only going to test one provider, test this one.
The catch: You have to claim it in the app. The website does not offer it.
