How Airalo, Holafly, and Nomad hide the cap

Airalo fails if the cap is only in a FAQ. Holafly fails if travel eSIM needs a kicked device. Nomad is the control: if its third install worked, do not excuse a silent cap.

Fails that kill travel-esim-pick-devices-2026-09-16-s3

• Paying Airalo annual after one phone install
• Skipping the third device on Holafly
• Assuming Nomad is unlimited because the homepage said so
• Dropping travel eSIM to stay under the cap

Go / no-go 2026-09-16

Annual only if the device cap and extra-device USD price are written for “travel eSIM”. Otherwise travel-esim-pick stays monthly until travel eSIM fits the included installs.
