eSIM Cards

Bought a 5GB plan the night before my flight to Chile and the QR code arrived in my inbox within a minute. Setup took about two minutes on my phone and it just worked when I landed, no faff at the airport. Good stuff for a cheap trip.

I was rather nervous about installing an eSIM, but the instructions were clear and I had it working before we left the hotel in Lisbon. My husband wanted to know how it all worked, so I showed him the email with the codes and he was quite impressed. We've not had a single problem with the data since, and I'd happily use it again.

I've been buying the eSIM for trips abroad from them for about four years now and the Europe data bundle has worked every time I've used it. Set it up at home the night before flying and it connected as soon as I landed in Lisbon. Never had to hunt for a SIM stall or mess with the phone's settings at the airport, which is the bit I used to dread.

I bought the Japan plan for a family trip after comparing a couple of other sellers, and the price was the reason I went with them. The QR code worked on my husband's phone as well as mine, which I hadn't expected. We had data all through Tokyo and Kyoto without any drop-outs.

Good plan, works as advertised. I've used a few of these now and this one installs as cleanly as any. Data in Greece was fast and I never had to think about it again.

Bought it on the train and the code was in my email before I got off. Set up in the car park and it worked in Paris. That's all I wanted from it and it did exactly that.

I needed data on my phone for a festival in Portugal and didn't want to pay my network's roaming rates. Bought a small bundle the week before and it was on my phone in minutes. Only dinged for the price being a bit more than I'd hoped, but it did the job.

I needed a plan for a trip to Canada and it was the price and the wide coverage that drew me in. Unfortunately the QR code didn't arrive for almost two hours after paying, and my first message to their help desk went unanswered for two days. Once I got it working, the data was fine, but it left a poor impression.

I've been on their eSIM for a while now, mostly the European bundle when I go to see family in Germany. The QR code arrives straight away and the install is always painless. Only thing is the price has crept up a little since last year, but it still beats my network.

Booked it on my phone at the gate and the email with the QR code came straight away. Installed it in the taxi and data worked as soon as I landed in Dubai. Didn't have to queue for anything, which was the main thing for me.

Compared with the other options I'd seen for a fortnight in Turkey, this came out clearly cheaper for the amount of data I needed. I spent a long time checking the figures before buying, so I was pleased it held up. The install was straightforward and the data was reliable the whole trip.

I've used a few eSIM providers over the years so I know what to look for, and this one covered my three weeks across Vietnam and Thailand without any dropouts. The data speed held up well in the cities and the top up process was straightforward. Easy to see my usage in the app as well, which I like.

I bought the Europe bundle mainly because my son said the QR code install was simple, and he was right. Scanned it at the kitchen table and had the plan running within ten minutes. The data worked on our coach trip through Austria without any trouble, which I was rather relieved about.

I needed data for a few months backpacking and didn't want to be buying a new SIM in every country. This let me keep my number and add data as I went. Really handy and the top-ups were quick.

I looked at a few options before this, including my own network's day pass, and this worked out cheaper for a week in Greece. The bundle I picked was a bit fiddly to choose from on the site but the checkout was quick. Data was good the whole time.

The eSIM installed fine and the data worked in Spain. The bit that annoyed me was I emailed about a plan question and didn't hear back for three days, which is a long time when you're about to fly. Got sorted in the end but it was a stressful wait.

Compared with buying a local SIM at the airport, this was far less bother and the price was a fair bit lower for the data I needed. The instructions were clear enough, though I did need to ring the helpline once when the activation didn't go through first time. They sorted it within the hour.

It works, but I wouldn't say it's a quick job for a first-timer. The install took me a good while and the confirmation email was a bit slow to arrive, so I was sat there wondering if I'd been charged twice. Once it was on, the data was fine in Italy and I had no drops. Just expect to spend some time on the setup before you travel.

Compared with a local pay-as-you-go SIM, this is more expensive per gigabyte, though it saved me the bother of queueing at a foreign shop. I did find the plan names a little confusing and had to reread the descriptions. The data was reliable once it was running.

I needed something to cover me on a work trip to the States and didn't fancy paying my provider's roaming charges. I've used them on and off for years, and this time the plan was active before I got to the gate. Nothing to complain about.
