What you get with Nomad in Sao Tome and Principe
Set up before you fly
Buy in the Nomad app and install your QR code at home. Your plan activates automatically when you first connect to a local tower in Sao Tome and Principe.
Keep your existing number
Nomad runs as a second line alongside your home SIM. Your usual number stays active for calls and texts — Nomad handles data only.
Real-time data usage
Track exactly how much data you've used at any time in the Nomad app, so you never get caught short before your next refill.
Travel beyond Sao Tome and Principe

Flexible up to 30 days
Nomad Sao Tome and Principe plans run up to 30 days from first use. Buy in advance so you're ready the moment you land.
Which Nomad plan should you pick?
For a short city break of 3–6 days, the cheapest plan at $25 will cover Maps, WhatsApp and casual browsing. If you’re spending one to two weeks travelling around Sao Tome and Principe, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value on a per-GB basis in Nomad’s Sao Tome and Principe lineup.
If you plan to work remotely, stream video daily, or use your phone as a hotspot, lean towards a larger bundle. The unlimited plans cost a premium but make sense for heavy users who don’t want to track usage.
One thing to note: Nomad Sao Tome and Principe plans are data-only. You won’t get a local number, but your existing SIM handles calls and texts as normal — messages, WhatsApp and FaceTime all work over data.
