“Bought a plan data and voice. Data worked well. Couldn't make any call. Assistance answered but kept saying to wait. Total scam. They sell only data as fata and voice. Asked for reimbursement. No answer. Never again.”

GLOBAL YO Albania

“Activation is not straightforward, need to scan qr code.
After eSIM is downloaded and activated, no internet (writing this review after 2 hours trying to make it work). I have contacted carrier, but still no answer. Purchased 20 GB plan.

My previous experience with esimdb and other carriers was much better.

Not sure if I'll make it work, after all discounts I've paid ~13 EUR for 20GB plan.”
