Nomad Internet Launches Industry-First Program Paying Customers for Returning Modems

Nomad Internet, the nation’s largest rural wireless internet provider, has announced the launch of RecycleNomad.com, a groundbreaking initiative that pays customers cash for returning old Nomad modems. In a first-of-its-kind program for the internet service industry, Nomad is transforming equipment returns into an opportunity to earn money, reduce waste, and provide rural families with access to affordable internet.

From Fees to Cash Rewards

Traditionally, internet providers penalize customers with steep fees for failing to return equipment. Nomad Internet is taking the opposite approach by rewarding them instead.

Through RecycleNomad.com, any customer with an unused Nomad modem can ship it back free of charge using a prepaid label and receive a $50 Visa® or Mastercard® gift card powered by Tremendous.

“For years, ISPs have charged customers for not returning devices. We’re rewriting the playbook,” said Jaden Garza, CEO of Nomad Internet. “Even if you never want to use Nomad again, we’ll pay you $50 for your old modem. That’s money in your pocket and one less device in a landfill.”

Two Easy Options for Customers

1. Recycle & Get $50

• Return any old Nomad modem.
• Receive a $50 gift card (Visa®, Mastercard®, PayPal, Venmo, or bank transfer).
• No obligations and no strings attached.

1. Try Nomad Again & Earn More
   Customers who choose to test Nomad’s upgraded service will receive:

• One month of free service
• A $100 gift card after activation and usage

This option highlights Nomad’s improvements while inviting former subscribers to give the service another chance.

Why RecycleNomad.com Matters

• Environmental Impact: Prevents thousands of devices from ending up in landfills and promotes responsible recycling.
• Social Impact: Refurbished modems are redistributed to rural families in need of reliable internet.
• Customer Impact: Customers are rewarded instead of penalized, creating the first positive return experience in the ISP industry.

“RecycleNomad.com isn’t just about recycling hardware,” Garza added. “It’s about showing customers that Nomad has changed. We’ve upgraded our networks, improved speeds, simplified plans, and enhanced customer service. Now we’re inviting people to give us another chance, and we’ll pay them for it.”

A Transformed Nomad Experience

Over the past two years, Nomad Internet has made significant investments to improve service quality, including:

• Network Coverage Expansion: Wider connectivity in rural and remote areas across America.
• SIM & Technology Upgrades: Smarter, faster devices with seamless activation.
• Plan Flexibility: Transparent, affordable plans with no contracts.
• Customer Service Overhaul: A new customer-first model with quicker response times and proactive support.

RecycleNomad.com reflects Nomad’s commitment to sustainability while also showcasing confidence in these upgrades.

Customer-Centric and Industry-First

Industry analysts note that RecycleNomad.com could set a new precedent for ISPs worldwide. While traditional providers see returns as a cost, Nomad views them as a chance to reward customers, reduce waste, and build lasting goodwill.

“This is about trust,” said Garza. “We know not every customer had the best experience in the past. RecycleNomad.com is our way of saying: we value you, we value your time, and we’re willing to put money behind that promise.”
