Czech Republic: 14 Best eSIMs Compared + Discounts (2023)

The Czech Republic (Czechia) – known for its beer, art & culture.

It is also a relatively affordable travel destination in Central Europe.

Just like neighboring countries, the Czech Republic is also famous for skiing.

But what can you do in the country besides skiing? A lot.

Plenty of churches and cathedrals can be seen and visited.

The Národní Muzeam (Museam) is a must see too.

Let's not forget about the stunning castles, like Karlštejn Castle.

It should be illegal to be bored in the Czech Republic.

One thing that will rarely be cheap, including in the Czech Republic, is international roaming.

It can be crazy expensive.

What is worse is that mobile data in the Czech Republic is expensive too.

In fact, the most expensive in Europe.

Luckily, travel eSIMs offer cheaper data plans without compromising on speeds and reception that much.

So, how much do Czech (travel) eSIMs cost?

You can get an eSIM for the Czech Republic for as low as 6 USD up to 99 USD from Airalo, Holafly & Nomad offering between 500 MB and unlimited data to be used locally, in Europe, or globally.

There are some mobile operators who will charge you 100 USD for only 100 MB of roaming data, so these travel eSIM offers are much better than most international roaming deals.

In this guide, I will go over the eSIM options offered by the Czech mobile operators (if available), Airalo, Holafly & Nomad. Let's get started.

In a Hurry? A Quick Introduction

I will write about ten eSIM options in Czech Republic (and explain why they are included).

But if you want to want to quickly check out what the best eSIMs are for Czech Republic without my analysis and explanations, here is an overview of the eSIMs covered in this guide:

• Airalo's O2 Stay in Touch Czech Republic eSIM with one 10 GB option (best value for money)
• Airalo's Eurolink Europe eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 100 GB (best value for money when also visiting other European countries) – read my ongoing Airalo Eurolink eSIM review too!
• Holafly Czech Republic eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 90 days (truly unlimited data plans at premium prices)
• Nomad Czech Republic eSIM with 11 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (switches to the best network, allowing for excellent reception at all times)
• Holafly Europe eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 60 days (truly unlimited data plans when also visiting other European countries at premium prices)
• Nomad Europe eSIM with 13 choices between 1 GB and 40 GB (the best of both worlds in terms of pricing and performance)

The eSIM providers are in alphabetical order per grouping (Czech Republic-only, regional & global) – not in order of preference (you would have to read the complete guide to find out which eSIMs I love the most for Czech Republic 😜).

Let's truly get started, shall we?

eSIMs offered by the Czech Mobile Operators

In order to get the best performance out there, it is often recommended to go directly with the local mobile operators because you will get a higher priority on the network compared to roaming.

Currently, T-Mobile Czech Republic, O2 Czech Republic, Vodafone Czech Republic & MOBIL.CZ are the only Czech mobile operators offering eSIMs to prepaid customers.

Travel eSIM providers Airalo, Holafly & Nomad offer attractive eSIMs for the Czech Republic, allowing them to be set up before arriving in the Czech Republic and activating them as soon as you land.

Very convenient, right? And I have used eSIMs from Airalo, Holafly, Nomad & SimOptions before, and I can assure you they work well!

So let's check out all the options, shall we?

Airalo eSIMs for the Czech Republic

Airalo eSIMs are my favorite travel eSIMs out there because they are always good value for money compared to other travel eSIM providers (especially travel eSIMs not mentioned in this guide).

And the same can be said for the O2 Stay in Touch eSIM – 10 GB of data is available for only 22 USD.

Wait… you have no idea who or what Airalo is? I have an in-depth review explaining how Airalo works and all its options, based on four years of using Airalo eSIMs – you can read it now or later (I will briefly introduce Airalo anyway in this guide).

Anyway, the O2 Stay in Touch eSIM uses the O2 Czech Republic network.

You have one Airalo O2 Stay in Touch eSIM option:

1. Czech Republic/O2 Stay in Touch 10 GB eSIM (with 50 CZK credit) for 30 days, costing 22 USD

There is, or was, a 5 GB variant, but it has been out of stock for literal months now.

Honestly, the Airalo O2 Stay in Touch eSIM is not bad at all, especially considering its options and prices.

Let me review some of its pros and cons before you get a O2 Stay in Touch eSIM (or continue exploring your other options mentioned in this guide).

Airalo O2 Stay in Touch eSIM Pros

What are the main perks of Airalo's O2 Stay in Touch eSIMs?

• You can avoid expensive international roaming fees
• You can purchase and set up your O2 Stay in Touch eSIM before arriving in the Czech Republic (and activate it upon landing)
  • The eSIM will start once you have it enabled and are in the Czech Republic – not earlier (so you can pre-purchase your eSIM months in advance in peace – I do this often)
• You get full (up to 4G/LTE) access to the O2 Czech Republic network
• The eSIMs are affordable and have generous data allowances
• You can manage your eSIM easily on the Airalo website or its apps (Android and iOS)
  • If you need more data, top-ups are available (at the same prices as listed earlier – not at a markup)

Airalo O2 Stay in Touch eSIM Cons

What are the main cons of Airalo's O2 Stay in Touch eSIMs?

• You cannot call or text with the O2 Stay in Touch eSIM – it is a data-only eSIM (so you do not get a (Czech) phone number either)
• While you get access to O2 Czech Republic network, your speeds will not be as fast as going with O2 Czech Republic itself because you will be roaming on its network (and not be a native customer)
• The Czech mobile operators have much more generous data allowances (while O2 Stay in Touch is capped at 10 GB, but top-ups are available)
• There are no unlimited data plans (unlike some other options mentioned in this guide)
• There is no 5G NR access with the O2 Stay in Touch eSIM

Airalo O2 Stay in Touch eSIM Overall Thoughts

I am a big fan of Airalo and its eSIMs in general, as mentioned in my Airalo review, including the O2 Stay in Touch eSIM.

It offers reasonable data plans for low prices – even for Czech standards.

You also get fast (up to 4G/LTE) speeds and access in the Czech Republic.

But if making actual phone calls and sending real text messages are important to you (so not through an app like WhatsApp), you may want to buy a Czech SIM card instead (an in-depth guide).

Holafly eSIMs for the Czech Republic

The second eSIM provider I recommend is Holafly.

It started something revolutionary in June 2022.

Holafly offers unlimited data plans for the Czech Republic, many other European Union member states & a few other countries.

No idea who or what Holafly is? I have an in-depth review explaining how Airalo works and all its options, based on two years of using Holafly eSIMs – you can read it now or later (I will briefly introduce Holafly anyway in this guide).

From what I know, Holafly is the first to offer unlimited data plans for so many countries WITHOUT a Fair-Use Policy.

That was what I was told initially.

A few weeks later, though, this paragraph was added to its “Can my connection speed be reduced?” FAQ:

[…] if the mobile operator estimates the usage of more than 90 GB of data in a month, it may temporarily reduce the speed to 256 Kbps – 1 Mbps to avoid affecting other users. This limitation is intended to prevent network saturation and will be removed within 24 hours.

One of Holafly's competitors tried to hit a daily fair-use limit.

It realized that speeds get throttled after using more than 2.5 GB to 3 GB daily.

Do with this information as you wish 😏.

Now, I have to say that Holafly's the Czech Republic unlimited data plans are more expensive than any eSIM mentioned in this guide.

But if you do not want to worry about data allowances, Holafly is the one to go for.

The Holafly eSIMs use the T-Mobile Czech Republic network.

You have the following eight Holafly Czech Republic eSIM options:

1. The Czech Republic unlimited data eSIM for 5 days, costing 19 USD/19 EUR/19 GBP/27 AUD/24 CAD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
2. The Czech Republic unlimited data eSIM for 7 days, costing 27 USD/27 EUR/24 GBP/44 AUD/34 CAD
3. The Czech Republic unlimited data eSIM for 10 days, costing 34 USD/34 EUR/29 GBP/49 AUD/44 CAD
4. The Czech Republic unlimited data eSIM for 15 days, costing 47 USD/47 EUR/44 GBP/67 AUD/55 CAD
5. The Czech Republic unlimited data eSIM for 20 days, costing 54 USD/57 EUR/49 GBP/84 AUD/74 – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers CAD
6. The Czech Republic unlimited data eSIM for 30 days, costing 64 USD/69 EUR/59 GBP/99 AUD/89 CAD
7. The Czech Republic unlimited data eSIM for 60 days, costing 84 USD/87 EUR/77 GBP/127 AUD/114 CAD
8. The Czech Republic unlimited data eSIM for 90 days, costing 99 USD/99 EUR/87 GBP/144 AUD/129 CAD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers CAD

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in May based on data up to the 17^th of May (2023 data only).

The best part is that you can get 5% off using code PHONETRAVELWIZ on each Holafly eSIM purchase!

Once again, let's see some pros and cons of the Holafly Czech Republic eSIMs.

Holafly Czech Republic eSIM Pros

What are the main perks of Holafly's Czech Republic eSIMs?

• You can avoid expensive international roaming fees
• You get full (up to 4G/LTE) access to T-Mobile Czech Republic network
• You do not have to deal with hard data caps because you get unlimited data (32 GB – here I come!)
• If you, somehow, experience any problems, Holafly's support team responds surprisingly quickly (even on weekends)

Holafly Czech Republic eSIM eSIM Cons

What are the main cons of Holafly's Czech Republic eSIMs?

• You cannot call or text with the Holafly Czech Republic eSIM – it is a data-only eSIM (so you do not get a (Czech) phone number either)
• While you get access to T-Mobile Czech Republic network, your speeds will not be as fast as going with T-Mobile Czech Republic itself because you will be roaming on its network (and not be a native customer)
• The eSIM's validity, supposedly, starts as soon as you scan the QR code, not upon using it in the Czech Republic
  • I say supposedly because I have installed eSIMs literally months in advance and had no issues using them later, but I do not want you to experience this issue with your hard-earned money
• While you get “unlimited” data, the soft cap seems to be 2.5-3 GB/day and 90 GB per month (if you get the 30-, 60-, or 90-day eSIM)
  • I have not experienced this soft cap myself
• You cannot use your phone as a hotspot (tether) with any Holafly unlimited data eSIM
• There is no 5G NR access with the Holafly eSIM
• You cannot top-up your eSIM – you have to buy a new one (in case you stay in the Czech Republic for a bit longer than initially planned)
• Holafly is the most expensive eSIM provider in this guide for Czech Republic-only eSIMs

Holafly Czech Republic eSIM Overall Thoughts

I love that Holafly decided to innovate and offer unlimited data plans (although unlimited should be written as “unlimited” instead).

I was not a fan of Holafly when it had travel SIM cards (discontinued) because they were crazy expensive (I am talking about 20 USD for 1 GB of data in some Caribbean nation expensive).

Luckily that is not the case with its eSIMs, so I have used Holafly eSIMs in many countries and counting.

Be sure to use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off each Holafly purchase (yes, you can use it multiple times)!

Nomad eSIMs for the Czech Republic

Another eSIM provider I recommend is Nomad.

And no, I am not talking about the (digital) Nomad lifestyle, but Nomad eSIMs! (Check out my Nomad review to learn more about all its options).

Previously, I implied that Nomad eSIMs, including the Czech Republic ones, were mediocre.

And they used to be.

But since then, Nomad dropped its prices, switched to a better roaming partner & improved its overall service.

It may have been because I complained… but still 🤫.

For many European countries, Nomad partnered with Truphone – a global connectivity carrier.

For some reason, Truphone is secretive about the local network(s) it uses (and its partners are not allowed to disclose it either).

Unfortunately, I did not note it down when I was in Czech Republic 🥲.

Anyway, I also wrote that Nomad used to be more expensive than Airalo.

It still is… slightly, but it has dropped its prices since, making it more competitive (compared to many of its competitors, not just Airalo or others mentioned in this guide).

So I am happy to not call Nomad mediocre anymore 🤣.

You have the following 11 options with Nomad:

1. Czech Republic 1 GB eSIM for 7 days (Multiple providers – new), costing 6 USD/6 EUR/5 GBP/8.50 CAD
2. Czech Republic 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 7 USD/6.50 EUR/6 GBP/9.50 CAD
3. Czech Republic 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 12 USD/11.50 EUR/10 GBP/16.50 CAD
4. Czech Republic 3 GB eSIM for 15 days (Multiple providers – new),costing 12 USD/11.50 EUR/10 GBP/16.50 CAD
5. Czech Republic 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 14 USD/13 EUR/11.50 GBP/19 CAD
6. Czech Republic 5 GB eSIM for 15 days (Multiple providers – new), costing 14 USD/13 EUR/11.50 GBP/19 CAD
7. Czech Republic 10 GB eSIM for 30 days (Multiple providers – new), costing 19 USD/18 EUR/15.50 GBP/26 CAD
8. Czech Republic 10 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 20 USD/18.50 EUR/16.50 GBP/27.50 CAD
9. Czech Republic 15 GB eSIM for 30 days (Multiple providers – new), costing 27 USD/25 EUR/22 GBP/36.50 CAD
10. Czech Republic 20 GB eSIM for 30 days (Multiple providers – new), costing 33 USD/31 EUR/27 GBP/45 CAD
11. Czech Republic 20 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 35 USD/32.50 EUR/28.50 GBP/47.50 CAD

And you know that I have a good deal waiting for you: use code ADU123 and get 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off your first Nomad eSIM purchase!

Nomad Czech Republic eSIM Pros

What are the main perks of Nomad's Czech Republic eSIMs?

• You can avoid expensive international roaming fees
• You get full (up to 4G/LTE) access to (an) undisclosed Czech network(s)
• The eSIMs are affordable and have generous data allowances
• You can manage your eSIM easily on the Nomad website or its apps (Android and iOS)
  • If you need more data, top-ups are available (at the same prices as listed earlier – not at a markup)
• If you, somehow, experience any problems, Nomad's support team responds surprisingly quickly (even on weekends)

But it is not all good news with Nomad though – there are some disadvantages.

Nomad Czech Republic eSIM Cons

What are the main cons of Nomad's Czech Republic eSIMs?

• You cannot call or text with the Nomad Czech Republic eSIM – it is a data-only eSIM (so you do not get a (Czech) phone number either)
• While you get access to (an) undisclosed Czech network(s), your speeds will not be as fast as going with the mobile operator(s) it-/themselves because you will be roaming on its/their network(s) (and not be a native customer)
• The eSIM's validity starts after 30 days of purchase, not upon using it in the Czech Republic
  • During select promotions, this gets extended (up to six months I have seen), but do not buy your eSIM too early, else it will self-activate after 30 days and simply expire
• The Czech mobile operators have much more generous data allowances (while Nomad's is capped at 20 GB, but top-ups are available)
• There are no unlimited data plans (although this may or may be coming soon… I know of nothing 🤫)
• There is no 5G NR access with the Nomad Czech Republic eSIM

Nomad Czech Republic eSIM Overall Thoughts

Generally, I am happy to have seen Nomad grow and become much better over the years.

This resulted in me using its eSIMs in more than 25 countries so far (and I share my experience in my Nomad review).

From becoming a mediocre option to one of the leading eSIM providers (especially for European eSIMs) within a year is quite an achievement.

Currently, Nomad has way more data options in Asia, Oceania, the United Kingdom & the United States.

I hope they can be added for Czech Republic too because there is demand for it.

But besides that, the Nomad Czech Republic eSIM is fine.

Best eSIMs for Europe & the World (including the Czech Republic)

So what if you plan to visit a neighboring European country?

Unfortunately, you cannot use your Airalo, Holafly, or Nomad eSIMs in any country than the Czech Republic.

Luckily, some of the eSIM providers mentioned so far do have eSIMs that can be used throughout most or all of Europe (+extras).

And there are also some global eSIMs with attractive prices that can be useful if you visit Europe and another continent or region.

I highly recommend these Europe or global eSIMs if you plan to visit multiple European countries to save money!

---

Airalo Eurolink eSIM

You have not undoubtedly read of Airalo's Eurolink eSIM, as it is the most popular Europe travel eSIM out there (yes, even its competitors cannot match… yet – and Phone Travel Wiz readers love this eSIM too).

Not only because Airalo may have been the first with such a regional European eSIM but also because of how easy it is to travel across Europe and how convenient it is.

And since it had this eSIM, Airalo keeps improving on it.

For example, more countries are covered today, with Andorra and Switzerland being the newest additions (for now).

And you get FREE 5G NR access in more than half of the supported countries.

So, in how many countries can this Airalo Eurolink eSIM be used? 39 European countries, including the Czech Republic.

And that includes all member states of the European Union.

The Airalo Eurolink eSIM can be used in the following 39 countries:

¹ on 3G only
² (limited) 5G NR availability at no additional cost!

I aim to use and try the Airalo Eurolink eSIM in all supported countries.

So far, I have used the eSIM in 12 countries, so I still have a long way to go!

• Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM review

Holafly Europe eSIM

Holafly also has an eSIM for Europe.

And this eSIM is probably Holafly's best regional eSIM because it allows for unlimited data in 32 European countries.

Although Holafly's definition of Europe is basically the European Economic Area (except for Liechtenstein) + Switzerland, Ukraine & the United Kingdom.

Even then… unlimited data! 🤩

The Holafly Europe eSIM can be used in the following 32 countries:

Below is an overview of how much each Holafly Europe eSIM costs:

1. Europe unlimited eSIM for 5 days, costing 19 USD/19 EUR/19 GBP/27 AUD/24 CAD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
2. Europe unlimited eSIM for 10 days, costing 34 USD/34 EUR/29 GBP/49 AUD/44 CAD
3. Europe unlimited eSIM for 15 days, costing 47 USD/47 EUR/44 GBP/67 AUD/55 CAD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
4. Europe unlimited eSIM for 20 days, costing 54 USD/57 EUR/49 GBP/84 AUD/74 CAD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
5. Europe unlimited eSIM for 30 days, costing 64 USD/69 EUR/59 GBP/99 AUD/89 CAD
6. Europe unlimited eSIM for 60 days, costing 84 USD/87 EUR/77 GBP/127 AUD/114 CAD
7. Europe unlimited eSIM for 90 days, costing 99 USD/99 EUR/87 GBP/144 AUD/129 CAD

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in May based on data up to the 17^th of May (2023 data only).

And yes, you can still use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off!

Nomad Europe eSIM

Another affordable eSIM for Europe is Nomad's Europe eSIM.

It can be used in 25 or 35 countries, depending on the plan you choose.

In Q3 or Q4, Nomad added several new countries to its Europe eSIM, making it more useful than before.

As expected, the eSIM covering 25 countries, which includes most but not all of the European Union (EU), is cheaper than the 35 countries eSIM, which covers all of the EU + others like Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

The Nomad Europe eSIM can be used in the following 25 or 35 countries:

¹ 25 countries variant
² 35 countries variant

Below is an overview of how much each Nomad Europe eSIM costs:

1. Europe 1 GB eSIM for 7 days (25 countries – new), costing 6 USD/6 EUR/5 GBP/8.50 CAD
2. Europe 1 GB eSIM for 7 days (35 countries), costing 9 USD/8.50 EUR/7.50 GBP/12.50 CAD
3. Europe 3 GB eSIM for 30 days (25 countries – new), costing 14 USD/13.50 EUR/12 GBP/19.50 CAD
4. Europe 3 GB eSIM for 30 days (35 countries), costing 17 USD/16.50 EUR/14.50 GBP/23.50 CAD
5. Europe 5 GB eSIM for 30 days (25 countries – new), costing 17 USD/16.50 EUR/14.50 GBP/23.50 CAD
6. Europe 5 GB eSIM for 30 days (35 countries), costing 18 USD/17 EUR/15 GBP/24.50 CAD
7. Europe 10 GB eSIM for 30 days (25 countries – new), costing 24 USD/23 EUR/20 GBP/33 CAD
8. Europe 10 GB eSIM for 30 days (35 countries), costing 26 USD/24.50 EUR/22 GBP/35.50 CAD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers (that was before the 25 countries options were added)

You can still use code use code ADU123 and for 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off your first Nomad purchase!

I aim to use and try the Nomad Europe eSIM in all supported countries.

So far, I have used the eSIM in eight countries, so I still have a long way to go!

SimOptions Europe eSIMs (O2 Go Card, Orange Holiday Europe/Zen & Smart Comfort X)

SimOptions is probably the first travel SIM card company I started working with in 2019.

Mostly because it resold, and still resells, popular travel SIM cards that can be used worldwide at attractive prices.

The main issue I used to have with SimOptions SIM cards was the relatively high shipping costs.

The average delivery fee is more than 20 USD – that could be the cost of a second SIM card (or eSIM nowadays)!

But fear not – with the introduction of eSIMs, shipping costs are no more, while SimOptions can still sell its eSIMs at fair prices.

You need to know that SimOptions does not sell eSIMs for particular countries (the Czech Republic in this case).

Instead, it sells eSIMs for a particular region, like Europe, or for global use.

In this section, I will talk about SimOptions Europe offering because you have three eSIM providers with four options covering the Czech Republic:

• O2 (CZ) Go Card eSIM
• Orange (FR) Holiday Europe eSIM
• Orange (FR) Holiday Zen eSIM
• SimOptions Smart Comfort X eSIM

Unlike any other eSIM provider mentioned in this guide (so far and upcoming ones), SimOptions sells eSIMs with call and texting capabilities (the O2 and Orange eSIMs) 🥳.

The O2 Go Card eSIM, from the Czech Republic, comes with a Czech phone number (+420), while the Orange eSIMs come with a French phone number (+33).

Anyway, SimOptions' eSIMs can be used in 27- (Smart Comfort), 41- (O2 Card), or 43 countries (Orange Holiday):

¹ for SimOptions Smart Comfort
² for O2 Go Card
³ for Orange Holiday Europe & Zen

You have these four SimOptions Europe eSIMs:

1. SimOptions Smart Comfort X (27 countries) 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 17.90 USD
2. O2 (CZ) Go Card (41 countries) 10 GB eSIM for 30 days (with Europe-wide calling and texting), costing 24.90 USD
3. Orange (FR) Holiday Zen (43 countries) 8 GB eSIM for 30 days (with worldwide calling and texting), costing 29.90 USD
4. Orange (FR) Holiday Europe Zen (43 countries) 20 GB eSIM for 30 days (with worldwide calling and texting), costing 49.90 USD

• Check out my SimOptions eSIM reviews

Airalo Discover Global eSIM

Airalo was probably the first eSIM provider to introduce a global eSIM, called Discover Global.

This eSIM can be used in 85+ countries, including the Czech Republic, often offering up to 4G/LTE reception and speeds (also in the Czech Republic).

The Airalo Discover Global eSIM can be used in the following 85+ countries:

You have these five Airalo Discover Global eSIMs:

1. Discover Global 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 9 USD
2. Discover Global 3 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 24 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
3. Discover Global 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 35 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
4. Discover Global 10 GB eSIM for 60 days, costing 59 USD
5. Discover Global 20 GB eSIM for 180 days, costing 89 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in May based on data up to the 17^th of May (2023 data only).

---

AIS eSIM2FLY Global eSIM (5G NR Access in the Czech Republic)

SimOptions also sells a global eSIM: AIS eSIM2FLY Global.

And it can be used in a total of 123 countries for 15 days – 50 of them with 5G NR access, including the Czech Republic.

The AIS eSIM2FLY Global eSIM can be used in the following countries:

¹ with 5G NR access

If you get this eSIM from SimOptions, which I recommend, you will pay 39.90 USD for it.

The main issue I have with the AIS eSIM2FLY Global eSIM is that it has a short validity.

Making it hard to call it an actual global eSIM… unless you can somehow visit 123 countries within 15 days 🧐.

Still, it is a relatively affordable global eSIM covering 120+ countries… with 5G NR access!

---

Nomad Global eSIM

Besides Nomad's eSIM for the Czech Republic, it also has a global eSIM that can be used in the Czech Republic and a total of 110 countries (including most European ones).

Nomad's Global eSIM covers more countries than Airalo's Discover Global eSIM (110 vs. 85).

But it is also significantly more expensive than Airalo (but not the most costly global eSIM in this guide).

Even so, Phone Travel Wiz readers have shown interest in this eSIM and have had positive experiences with it.

Anyway, you have these three Nomad Global eSIMs:

1. Global 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 20 USD/19 EUR/16.50 GBP/27.50 CAD
2. Global 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 48 USD/45.50 EUR/39.50 GBP/66 CAD
3. Global 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 54 USD/51 EUR/44.50 GBP/74 CAD – most popular with Pnone Travel Wiz readers

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in March based on data up to the 7^th of March.

The Nomad Global eSIM can be used in the following 110 countries:

Remember to use code ADU123 and for 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off your first Nomad purchase!

Remember to use code the relevant discount codes for (ADU123 (Nomad) or PHONETRAVELWIZ (others)).

Buying a SIM Card in the Czech Republic

Want to just use a SIM card but not your current one because roaming will be criminally expensive?

Consider getting a Czech SIM card instead – local SIM cards are the cheapest way to stay connected abroad.
