Beyond the price tag
Nomad Germany eSIM hotspot 5G and fair-use rules
Price is only half of the decision. The cards below are the terms that decide whether the Nomad pick survives a real trip in Germany.
Hotspot and tethering
AllowedShared with your plan data
Nomad advertises sharing your data across multiple devices rather than a separate tethering allowance, so hotspot traffic comes out of the same plan data.
Speed and 5G
5G available15–300 Mbps
Typical real-world download on the fastest host network, Telekom. Actual speed depends on which mast your phone picks and how busy it is.
Fair-use threshold
2 GB/day on unlimited plans
Drops to 1 Mbps
Every one of the 150 Nomad unlimited plans we track states the same threshold: 2 GB at full speed per day, then unlimited at 1 Mbps. Nomad publishes no brand-wide fair-use figure - its destination pages point you at the individual plan's details, and that is where this number comes from.
Top-ups
AvailableExtra data is sold as an add-on and activates automatically on the existing eSIM when the original plan expires, so there is no new QR code to install.

The masts behind the plan
Which network does Nomad ride in Germany
Nomad owns no towers in Germany. This plan connects to the local host carriers O2, Telekom, Vodafone — so coverage, speed and rural reach follow those masts rather than the brand on the voucher.
Telekom
5G25–300 Mbps
Germany's benchmark — the best rural and autobahn coverage; the safe pick for road trips.
Vodafone
5G20–250 Mbps
Strong in cities and the west; the countryside sits behind Telekom.
O2
5G15–200 Mbps
The cheapest and much improved, but still the weakest in remote areas.

Price by trip length
What Nomad costs by trip length in Germany
The same trip priced two ways — Nomad's own cheapest plan that stays valid for the whole stay, against the cheapest rival plan covering the same days in Germany.
| Trip length | Nomad cheapest | Cheapest rival in Germany | cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | $4.50 7 days · 1GB | $1.00 7 days · 1GB · Roamic | Roamic cheaper |
| 5 days | $4.50 7 days · 1GB | $1.00 7 days · 1GB · Roamic | Roamic cheaper |
| 7 days | $4.50 7 days · 1GB | $1.00 7 days · 1GB · Roamic | Roamic cheaper |
| 10 days | $8.00 30 days · 3GB | $2.84 30 days · 1GB · Yesim | Yesim cheaper |
| 15 days | $8.00 30 days · 3GB | $2.84 30 days · 1GB · Yesim | Yesim cheaper |
| 30 days | $8.00 30 days · 3GB | $2.84 30 days · 1GB · Yesim | Yesim cheaper |
Pick your trip length and this re-reads the plan table above on the spot — the cheapest plan whose validity still covers the whole trip, against the cheapest rival in the same country.

Only plans whose validity covers the whole trip are counted here, so a 30-day trip is priced with a 30-day plan rather than a 5-day one stacked up. Each pick shows its data allowance next to the price — a 500MB trial pack undercuts a 5GB plan for a reason.
One column per brand, cheapest plan that covers the whole trip. Rivals are the other providers we track in Germany.

Look elsewhere if
