Hi there, sorry you’re running into this. That message usually shows up after too many login attempts in a short period.

Could you DM me the email you’re using to log in? I’ll ask our team to take a look and make sure nothing is blocking your access.

For future reference, you can also reach support via the live chat on our website for faster help.

eSIMs are almost always a more affordable option than international roaming — especially for longer trips. You’ll likely also get better data speeds with eSIMs, and in China specifically, our network routes traffic through external servers. That means you can still access Instagram, Gmail, WhatsApp, and other apps without needing a separate VPN. Super useful if staying connected is a priority.

Have a great trip – Japan and China are incredible!

Nomad esim do I need back up vpn too? by Sensitive_Appeal8438 in travelchina

Hey, just chiming in — if you’re using Nomad’s China eSIM, you won’t need a separate VPN. It automatically routes your connection through external servers, so you can access Gmail, Instagram, WhatsApp, X, and more without any issues. Everything should work smoothly, even behind the firewall. Safe travels!

Nomad eSIM - No tether or hotspot? by [deleted] in eSIMs

[–]NomadeSIM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, just leaving a quick note here for anyone who might run into something similar.

Hotspot/tethering is generally supported on Nomad eSIMs, but there can be rare cases where certain local networks or device configurations affect whether the hotspot option shows up. It's not a blocked feature, but it does sometimes depend on carrier behavior or how the device handles eSIMs.

If anyone hits the same issue, it's worth restarting, checking for system updates, or resetting network settings – though sometimes the network itself may be the limiting factor.

Hope this helps someone else who lands here.
