Austin, TX —   Nomad Internet, the nation’s largest rural wireless internet provider, today announced the launch of RecycleNomad.com, a groundbreaking new initiative that pays customers real cash for returning old Nomad modems. In a first-of-its-kind program for the internet service industry, Nomad is turning equipment returns into an opportunity for customers to earn money, reduce waste, and support rural families who need internet access.

From Fees to Cash Rewards: A Radical Shift

Traditionally, internet providers penalize customers with hefty fees if they fail to return equipment. Nomad is taking the opposite approach by rewarding customers 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 Simple Options for Customers

  1. Recycle & Get $50:
    • Send back any old Nomad modem.
    • Receive a $50 gift card (Visa®, Mastercard®, PayPal, Venmo, or bank transfer).
    • No obligations. No strings attached.
2. Try Nomad Again & Earn More: Customers who are willing to test Nomad’s upgraded service will get:
  • 1 Month of Free Service
  • A $100 gift card after activation and usage
This program is designed to showcase Nomad’s improvements and rebuild trust with former subscribers.

Why RecycleNomad.com Matters

  • Environmental Impact: Keeps thousands of devices out of landfills and ensures responsible recycling.
  • Social Impact: Refurbished modems are redistributed to rural families who need affordable, reliable internet access.
  • Customer Impact: Instead of being penalized, customers are rewarded — creating the first truly 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 leveled up 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 last two years, Nomad Internet has invested heavily in improving its service, making major strides in:
  • Network Coverage Expansion: Broader rural and remote connectivity 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 faster response times and proactive support.
RecycleNomad.com is both a sustainability initiative and a bold statement of confidence in these upgrades.

Customer-Centric & Industry-First

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