Beyond the price tag
Nomad Macao 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 Macao.
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 available20–300 Mbps
Typical real-world download on the fastest host network, CTM. 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 Macao
Nomad owns no towers in Macao. This plan connects to the local host carriers 3 Macau, China Telecom, CTM — so coverage, speed and rural reach follow those masts rather than the brand on the voucher.
CTM
5G25–300 Mbps
Macao's best network — blanket coverage across this compact city.
China Telecom
5G20–250 Mbps
Solid local coverage; handy if you continue into mainland China.
The destination-by-destination breakdown of every host carrier lives on the eSIM network map.
Typical speeds are our editors' reads of each operator's own coverage data. The independent national benchmark is Ookla's Speedtest Global Index for Macao.
Price by trip length
What Nomad costs by trip length in Macao
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 Macao.
| Trip length | Nomad cheapest | Cheapest rival in Macao | cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | $4.00 7 days · 1GB | $1.99 3 days · 1GB · Roami | Roami cheaper |
| 5 days | $4.00 7 days · 1GB | $2.00 7 days · 1GB · Roamic | Roamic cheaper |
| 7 days | $4.00 7 days · 1GB | $2.00 7 days · 1GB · Roamic | Roamic cheaper |
| 10 days | $8.00 30 days · 3GB | $3.00 14 days · 3GB · Roamic | Roamic cheaper |
| 15 days | $8.00 30 days · 3GB | $3.29 30 days · 1GB · Yesim | Yesim cheaper |
| 30 days | $8.00 30 days · 3GB | $3.29 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 Macao.
