When the eSIM was connected with a supported network, it was great.

Unfortunately, the Maya eSIM wasn't smart enough to only choose supported networks. More often than not, it would choose a network that *wasn't* supported, meaning I'd have 5-bars of service but no data.

Maya support was helpful to point out that I could set my iPhone to "manual" and then choose a supported network, but that was a freakin' nightmare. We were choosing new networks multiple times per day.

Bad experience.

Airalo

Speeds are 32Mb download and 3Mb upload. Impressive even if not stellar fast. Yes I would recommend Airalo. First attempt using an ESIM in Europe. Far more convenient given the limited option available when we arrived in Venice on route to Austria.

MTX Connect

tostused in Austria

Perfect, reliable and flawless experience in all countries with good 4G speeds (15-25mbps)!
I used the „pay as you go“ plan!
Easy to choose and switch via the app.
Refill/prepay is also done via the app! The only minor catch, minimum refill amount is 10€ and it‘s 10€ steps from here (10,20,30...)
Overall really good experience!!
