The nomad connectivity stack

Long-term travelers run three layers: a primary eSIM for the country they're in, a backup eSIM on a regional plan, and good WiFi at home base. Redundancy means a single carrier outage never kills your Monday meeting.

Why monthly plans beat daily ones

If you're staying somewhere for 2+ weeks, the 30-day plans are dramatically cheaper per GB. Our 20GB / 30-day plans are the sweet spot for most nomads.

Video calls on cellular

A 1-hour Zoom call burns about 1 GB. A Google Meet HD call burns 1.5 GB. Budget accordingly — and on critical calls, tether to your eSIM rather than trusting cafe WiFi.

Tax-deductible receipts

Every GhostESIM order has a downloadable PDF receipt on the confirmation page. We don't ask for your tax ID, but the receipt has everything an accountant needs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extend a plan or do I buy a new one?+

Buy a new plan. Each plan is independent — you can stack a 30-day on top of a current plan and the new one activates when the old one expires.

Do you offer multi-month plans?+

Yes. We sell up to 180-day plans on select regions. Filter by '6 months' on the Plans page.
